Great Location. Cozy Stay

I am keeping this property on my short list when visiting LA. The location was great. The host was super helpful and the space was well maintained. *The only concern is the stairs leading up tot he space. If you are not able to use stairs you will want to inform the host.

Great place & host!

My husband & I had an incredible time in LA, and Lloyd’s place played a big role in that! First, Lloyd was incredibly accommodating & flexible with our check-in and was a joy to talk to. The room was clean, had everything we could have needed, and in a great location. We would absolutely stay here again!

Great location, would stay again.

Stairs up to the property, and from the sleeping alcove, might be problematic for some. Otherwise, a great little place and Lloyd was a helpful and pleasant host. Easy freeway access, and restaurants within walking distance.

Great location and stay!

Lloyd, the owner was great! We flew into Burbank very early before check-in time - Lloyd accommodated us with a place to keep our luggage prior to check-in, as well as a place to change our outfits. He went above and beyond to make us comfortable. The location was absolutely PERFECT! Will stay here again!

Excellent Vrbo and outstanding host

This is a cute apartment in a lovely neighborhood that feels very safe. It was perfect for two people (I slept in the bed and my friend had the sofa bed). Lloyd was also a fantastic host. He was very attentive and gave us some excellent restaurant recommendations. I would definitely stay here again next time I'm in LA.

Excellent Location

Lloyd is a very responsive, friendly, and gracious host; always appreciated when booking a place to stay. The description of the room was spot on and he showed is other properties available for future stays. Even though our room was attached to the main house, we had complete privacy. I would definitely book again.

Incredible stay; beautiful and convenient

We had an amazing time at this Vrbo. The place was stunning and picturesque. It had every amenity we needed, including a bathroom heater that was glorious. Lloyd himself was extremely kind and helpful. The location was extremely convenient, a 3-minute walk to all sorts of delicious food and only a 30 minute walk to Universal Studios. We had an absolute blast at this Vrbo and we will absolutely book this place the next time we’re in Los Angeles. Thank you Lloyd!

Great place to stay 5min from Universal Studios

My wife and I and 2 teenage kids stayed in Lloyd's place in Oct 2015. We were visiting Universal Studios and wanted a place close. This is an ideal location....we are so glad that we found it. It's street parking but Lloyd left the ideal spot (right in front of the garage) open for us. It was a pleasure to stay there and we will definitely be back. Highly recommended.
