Family Celebration
We recently stayed for six nights and enjoyed our stay. Overall impressions: if you're primairly focused on locations and outdoor amemities, this house offers some advantages, expecially for those planning to visit Universal Studios. However, be prepared for a less-than-modern property that had limitiations in cooking supplies and in need of updated facilities. The outdoor pool and hot tub are well maintained and easy to use. Our stay was hampered by construction next door, which made it less than desirable to be outdoors.

Fantastic Stay Near Universal Studios
We had an absolutely wonderful experience staying at this VRBO near Universal Studios. The location was perfect – just a short drive or even walk to the park, which made it super convenient for our family. The home itself was clean, spacious, and well-stocked with everything we needed for our stay. The kids loved the game room and the pool, and we appreciated the fully equipped kitchen for preparing meals in between. We would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a comfortable and convenient stay near Universal Studios.

Nice place. Pool was great for the kids
Great pool for the kids. Nice to have TVs in all the rooms. Kitchen leaves A LOT to be desired. Ancient appliances - oven and stove were awful. Not a lot of cookware. No oven mitts or hot pads. No way to clean up after yourself after cooking other than cheap paper towels and dish soap. No wash cloths. Also, no specific pool towels which really sucked with kids and adults who both need towels for showering and pool time.

Cozy and comfortable
This place was amazing. I stayed here for a week with 8 other adults and one teenager to attend school. It was a good walk to the school and lots of stores and restaurants within walking distance. You can easily walk to Universal Studios every day. There are nice hills to walk so you can get a good workout naturally. The hot tub and fire pit outside was so comforting at the end of a long da. It would have been nice to have a broom and dustpan to sweep.i would definitely stay here again..

So comfortable, clean and close to Universal!
We really enjoyed staying at this property; it just worked so well for the 6 of us: our group of grandparents, parents and two teens. Loved having the pool, spa and BBQ; it was so great to return from Universal Studios after a warm, tiring day and spend time with the family outdoors in the pool and spa. Beds were comfortable and having the 3 baths with showers worked out very well for the group. Would definitely recommend a stay here. Just a note--I would strongly recommend having a car to go to Universal, grocery store, etc.

Great stay
The house was great with plenty of room to hang out together or have quiet time apart. The pool and hot tub are great. We didn’t end up walking to Universal since the house is uphill from the park. The adults could have done it, but felt too challenging for tired kids.

Comfortable fun house!
Three generations going to Universal Studios and Dodger game enjoyed this very quiet, comfortable house. We were hoping to walk to Universal and to the metro but lack of sidewalks and very fast cars derailed that idea! Beds were very comfortable and the pool and spa were refreshing after a hot tourist day! Property manager responded quickly to a small inquiry. Great place!

Grand vacation with 3 children, 2 of their spouses and all (4) grandchildren
Great property! Loved most everything about it. Beds were super comfortable and bedding nice. Loved the large dining room table. Hot tub and pool were awesome. Washer and dryer worked well and were well used. Showers very clean and had good water pressure. We cooked a lot at the home..even Thanksgiving dinner! Love the abundant supply of plates,cups, glasses and silverware. Free days of just hanging out at the home were our favorite. 9 days of LA and surrounding area attractions,traffic and people is exhausting! There were 7 adults, 2 tweens, a teenager and a baby in our party. We stayed 9 nights. We have a few suggestions for improvements for large groups: need more and upgraded kitchen utensils and cookware. Cake pans and sheets are rusted. Worst can opener ever! Hated the toaster oven for toast…a cheap regular toaster would be a great improvement. Gas stove was a struggle. Igniter kept firing after burner was lit and flame strength hard to regulate. Need more living room seating for large group movie watching. A big ice chest cooler for day trips would be a super amenity! All in all, a great place to stay.

Nice House for big families
We decided to go to Universal Studios and found this house pretty close to the park. It's about a 25 minutes walk to City Walk then another 5 to the entrance of the park. We opted to park there because the walk was too much for 2 of our kids. We got there and the 1st thing I found was a black widow, I contacted the owner and they came the next day to spray and get rid of the webs. This was much appreciated. The house is very Vintage with themes of old movies throughout. The beds were very comfortable, we all slept really well, and the house was big enough for all my kids to have their own rooms. We used the hot tub, and it was great after a long day at the park. This is a good house for a big family or multiple families, the neighborhood feels safe too. The garage didn't accommodate our SUV, but we have an Escalade , to give an idea about vehicle size. Alexa is throughout the house and controls a lot of things on the property, which we loved. Overall we did enjoy ourselves, and we would love to come back if possible.
