Nice location, needs improvements
The location in Studio City is great. Close to everything including a very nice new organic grocery store, Sprouts. The rental space itself, however, needs improvement. Burned out lights, electrical outlet dangling out of wall, cracked floor tiles, uneven walkway with protruding bricks. Note that this place does NOT have a full size fridge, only a mini-fridge like you’d see in a dorm, and the mattress is basically on a raised platform in a cubby on the floor. Very difficult getting in and out of the bed. The landlord was pleasant and communicative and mentioned a few of the needed upgrades upon our arrival call so he is definitely aware of the need. Parking was provided and we felt very safe. Acceptable for a couple but not conducive to visitors or anyone with children.

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.

It was a far property. The furniture needed some repair. The bed was soft. The cabinets and drawers were in repair-mode. The location and the tips were priceless. It had a jacuzzi and a stone two-head shower which is really nice. It is bigger than you would expect and feels homey. Thanks Mr. Lloyd

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.

Wonderful Experience.
I was looking for a property that was near my son’s home in Studio City. This was a perfect location. It was close enough for him to be able to drop me off within five minutes of leaving his home. As far as the property was concerned, it was perfect. It had everything that we needed. It was clean and the bathroom was large and spacious. The patio area had a great view and staying there was just an overall great experience.

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!

Christmas in LA
The property was so cute and perfect for my husband and myself. It was located within walking distance of our families house, which was perfect for our Christmas visit. Loyd was very helpful, especially with getting our gift-laden luggage up the 42 stairs to the apartment. He personally showed us around the apartment and was readily available if we had any questions. The small patio outside our apartment had a stunning view of studio city and us East Coasters loved sitting outside in the 50 degree weather having coffee in December! It was a short walk down the hill for breakfast and lunch. We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely be staying here during our next trip to visit family.

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!

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.

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.

Spectacular Location, convenient access to everything you would like to do in the area.
The host showed incredible hospitality, giving his knowledge of the area and very respectful of privacy. The area was safe and secure. Although small, the accommodations were clean and comfortable. The location provided quick access to the area attractions and a quick drive to freeways for everything in the surrounding area. Several quality restaurants and grocery stores within short walking distance. Highly recommended and great quality for the price.

Worst VRBO experience to date!
Over 40 steps up hill to reach the unit. No parking available in front of unit. Unit was so hot the AC didn’t cool it down until 2am. Was very difficult to sleep because of the temperature. Owner tried to guilt us into not using the AC or electric because he said it would cost him a “fortune”. Totally unacceptable to try an guilt renters!! Do not rent here if in Summer!!! Description of this place is not accurate online. Owner threaten us with $150 charge if we didn’t do what he wanted. I can’t believe this place gets good reviews. We are not guests. We are renters!
