Great local neighborhood for walking. There are also beautiful hiking trails nearby in the Santa Monica Mountains.

Andy was an incredible host, from checking in with us before we got there to find out what we needed to anticipating what we needed after we got there. I came for a surgery so we spent all our time recovering at this beautiful house. The neighborhood is charming and you couldn’t possibly want anything more. The back yard and pool are an oasis of relaxation. There is a Whole Foods literally right down the street so you can get food and the stove is something a master chef could appreciate! We loved staying at this house and will definitely stay here again when we find ourselves in this area!

Simply the best house & host you might find

This gem of a house is lovingly, meticulously refurbished and cared for by its owner and host, Andy. Inside and out, it is beautifully detailed, completely comfortable, and has new major appliances, a chef's range, coffee station, a Nest thermostat, etc. Pristine landscaping and a clean, private pool are icing on the cake.It's more important to note that Andy is a superb host and an even better person. My family rented his home when my mother and her caregiver needed to evacuate during the Palisades fire. We didn't know how long it would be before she might (or might not) move back home. Not only was Andy sweet, extremely helpful and accommodating to the ladies as guests, he also worked with us to keep a roof over their heads during this stressful time. He communicated fluidly and graciously allowed us to take it day by day as we needed. For all of his help, patience and understanding, we are extremely grateful.

Close to everything. The host was so sweet and communication was great. Will definitely stay here next time we need to relocate.

Perfect Spot!!

If you're looking to have a wonderful retreat to come home to at the end of a day sightseeing, day at the beach, shopping, or experiencing Universal, this place is perfect!! The home is a gorgeously decorated, cozy bungalow in a beautiful neighborhood with ease of access to busy streets and major highways alike. The host, Andy, could not be more accommodating and easy to work with. I truly believe he's as interested in you having an enjoyable, relaxing time as you are - not always the case with other hosts. You need not look further than this wonderful spot!!

Magical LA Stay

An exceptional experience from start to finish. Our stay was perfect, our host outstanding and every part of the trip magical. This property is perfect for a family (we are a family of four with two kids, 9 and 10) or even for a couple looking for a getaway in Los Angeles. It is worth every penny and we truly felt like treasured guests. The amenities in every room are thoughtful and considered. The bedrooms and bathrooms are well-appointed and comfortable, the pool and loungers are a welcome respite and the home is absolutely charming. In particular, the bed linens felt quite luxurious. Andy is a remarkable host: upfront, communicative, helpful, incredibly responsive and most of all, kind. This includes communication with the host leading up to our stay which was helpful beyond measure. You simply won’t find a better place to stay in LA that provides such a fantastic overall experience. We look forward to a return trip as soon as possible.

Absolute Perfection

I can’t think of a single thing that could have made our stay here more perfect. Andy is a great host
responsive and kind. The house itself was beautiful, immaculately maintained, but not so much that we felt we couldn’t “live” for the week. The heated pool was absolutely lovely. The location of the house to all the things we had on our vacation agenda was perfect. It was incredibly easy to get around the city with this as our starting point. Amenities galore
the home was well stocked with all the basics we needed and then some. We appreciated all the little extra touches. We will definitely return! Thanks so much!

A great family vacation!

Sherman Oaks is a hidden gem and Andy's home was wonderful! We went to Southern California for a family vacation visiting Universal Studios and a college tour of UCLA. Universal was a quick $15 to $20 Uber ride away, much less $$ and stress than trying to park. UCLA is also about 20 minutes away. Andy's home was perfect for our family of 4. The teenagers had room to spread out on their own, my daughter did not want to leave! The pool was wonderful, we paid exactly what it cost to heat it. Grocery stores were close nearby and the kitchen had everything we needed to make some family meals. Andy was on sight in the guest house in the back, but he was very respectful of our privacy and did not intrude at all. Although we did speak with him a few times and he was a delight! Thank you Andy for sharing your beautiful house with us!

À propos de l’hîte

HÎte : ANDY ACHEN

Image de profil de l’hîte
Born and raised in Los Angeles, my parents and I moved into this home when I was 12 years old (I won't tell the year... just yet). Realtor by trade, I have found my niche in hosting this vacation rental - I love it. I'm a dog-dad to a 9-year-old American Bully rescue named, Trisha (after singer Trisha Yearwood). She and I live in a completely separate, back-house down the driveway, past the kitchen window that is separated by full privacy fencing and heavy-duty gates. While out of your way, I'm always available to help with mapping and anything else you might need to find your way around town (also found a super viewing point for the HOLLYWOOD Sign).

Voici pourquoi l’hĂŽte a choisi cet hĂ©bergement

Well-established, quiet neighborhood in Sherman Oaks. Close to Westfield's Fashion Square Mall for shopping, and trendy Ventura Boulevard for dining. Food shopping close too at Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, Gelson's and Ralph's Markets. Starbucks is just up the street, two blocks away.

Voici ce qui rend cet hébergement unique

The Space:

King bed in front master, Queen bed in pool-view back, and Queen Plus in convertible den (American Leather Sleeper Sofa with no bar in the middle) with privacy doors. It can get hot in L.A. so in addition to the central cooling system, there are portable fans in the closets of each bedroom. 5 total TVs with one in each bedroom, one in bath and one in kitchen: DISH TV - America's Top 200 w/ 240 channels. Spectrum High-Speed internet included. Full-size washer and dryer in back porch off of kitchen. Both bathrooms have oversized stall showers with tub in master. Speaker system in den for watching movies, plus speakers in master bath, master bedroom, living room and patio to push music through the whole house and outside. Most light switches are on dimmers (and only 3 pesky LED lights in the house) to set the mood and tone you want: the home looks beautiful at night, especially with the custom patio lighting and malibu-lights around the heated pool.

*$10-$100/day to heat pool. 85 degrees (f) is avg temperature when heated, but can be lower if you want. Rate varies depending on time of year: colder months higher, warmer months lower (and often not needed in summer months). NO profit on gas cost, just covers the expense!
