Wonderful Lake Balboa stay

This cute duplex was perfect for our week trip to Encino. It was a short drive to shops and restaurants. The kitchen was fully equipped for cooking. The house was very clean. The owners were extremely responsive to my requests and to resolve anything that came up. It was also nice to have laundry onsite. I’d highly recommend this house if you are coming to the LA area.

PERFECT!!!!

My daughter & I needed a place to stay for her post surgery recovery. The place was close to her Dr, Surgery center and school. The place was clean, modern and peaceful to recuperate. I needed an extra night stay and owner accommodated me no problem. She even allowed us to bring our 2 tiny chihuahuas to help my daughter with her recovery. The washer and dryer was a god send so we didn't have to pack much for a 9 day stay. It had all the amenities we needed and more. Private parking in the back was great too! I didn't mind the front of the house being on a major street. I can people watch. Close to gas station as we needed tons of ice for my daughter's knee 24/7. Fridge ice maker was also a bonus as we can enjoy extra cold drinks in the hot weather. 5 Stars!!!! Will stay here again.

Great place with amazing amenities!

It was one of my best visits to LA. Mostly because of this house! It was quiet, clean, organized, so comfortable, and the hospitality and welcoming was great. And on top of all the location is 3 minutes away from the freeway, a big advantage for me. Thanks Brenda, I’ll definitely c u again.

Beautiful Property

I rented this home to stay with my 14 year old daughter and husband, and I have to say that this is one of the nicest homes I have rented through this site. It was very nicely decorated, had everything we needed and was very well maintained. The beds were very comfortable, and we got a good night's sleep all 5 nights. At night when we came home we enjoyed sitting on the deck out back and looking out at the lovely garden. In the morning when we sat down for breakfast we would look out the window, which is right in front of the dining table and we would see so many butterflies and hummingbirds. I was so surprised to have this experience in a Los Angeles urban neighborhood. The location was great as it was walking distance to the Balboa Lake and easy freeway access for heading out to tour sites. The owner, Brenda, was readily available anytime we needed something. I would definitely rent this home again!

Host profile image
I am a mother of 4 wonderful children, 2 girls, ages 20 and 22 and 2 boys, 24 and 36. I am also a grandmother of two. I own and operate 3 child development centers in my community. These centers provide child care services, in addition to early intervention and therapeutic services to children with special needs.

In addition to my career in Education, I have discovered that I have a passion and knack for interior/exterior design. I have a few homes, which I have purchased and renovated and now rent out to others to enjoy. If you click on "All My Listings" below my profile information, you will see my other homes that I have available. I hope you enjoy this bright and charming villa, as much as I do when I stay here.
