Truly enjoyed our stay. Layna is an outstanding hostess. Wonderful & charming home.

The house and gardens were gorgeous. Wonderful place to stay in L.A.!

We just returned home from a relaxing 6-day stay in this lovely house, and are already talking about when we can make plans to come back. The house is even prettier than depicted in the listing, filled with beautiful artwork and photographs, thoughtfully decorated with comfortable antique furniture, and outfitted with a well-equipped kitchen that was a delight to cook in. My very favorite feature, though, was the back garden. Even though it was early March (and cold and wet by Los Angeles standards!), we spent as much time as we could in the backyard, enjoying the beautiful plants and garden decoration, relaxing to the sounds of the fountain and listening to the birds. 10/10 would visit again in a heartbeat.

We had a great stay. It was just a few minutes from our daughter and family in Valley Glen. So convenient to Trader Joe’s and movie theatre and restaurants in the area. Lovely garden. Lots of amenities in the home.

We were very happy with everything about the property. The location was great, it looked just like the pictures, and the owners were very responsive to any questions I had. We enjoyed our stay!

Property is located close to a trending area of North Hollywood, the house was spacious and in perfect condition.

We especially enjoyed the lovely outdoor seating areas.

Once you manage to get in the front door, the house and garden are welcoming and serviceable.

Beautiful home with a lush garden backyard oasis. The weather was hot but the yard was cool and inviting. The home was clean, comfortable and a perfect spot for us.

I hit the jackpot with this selection. The charm that I spotted in the listing proved to be double-fold. Every room is beautifully decorated and easy to settle in. We started and ended our day in the backyard that is much larger than expected. There is room for dining, lounging and the dog to play with beautiful flowers and trees budding everywhere. The kitchen is so spacious and well-equipped with the most amazing oven. The neighborhood is quiet and nice for a stroll; yet close enough to the highway for our daily trips downtown or to the beach -- perfect location. Communication was very easy -- I appreciated Layna's attention to our stay. I will file this listing in my "book again" file!

We really enjoyed our stay here. The house was impeccably clean when we arrived. Everything you need you can find in this house. It was very clean and organized. The outdoor patio was our favorite and the pictures don’t do it justice. It is beautiful and well kept. They have put a lot of effort into the garden area and we really enjoyed sitting on the daybed by the pond. You forget you’re in a big city while sitting out there. The lemon tree was a plus as well. We even made some fresh lemonade! The hosts were easy to work with and really gracious! We would definitely stay here again! We loved it!

Great location. Home was sparkling clean. Host did an awesome job communicating with us. Beautiful yard. Super charming. The host was really accommodating and kind. This home is full of extras. Thank you for the fresh lemons.

This home, especially the back yard garden, is a little slice of heaven. This is an oasis of sanctuary amidst the bustle of LA. Super easily accessible to EVERYTHING ! Great new shopping center in walking distance accommodated all needs. The back yard garden is such a blessing. The house is comfortable and covers everything you’d need. We LOVED it !!!

Though a heatwave hit a couple days in we still enjoyed our morning coffee by the Koi Pond each day and were joined by a Dove three mornings. With Trader Joe’s close we were able to start each days adventure well supplied. The house was a comfy creative den and the hosts friendly and accommodating. All freeways were minutes away which we took advantage of traveling to Venice, Santa Monica, downtown Los Angeles, Pasadena, Studio City, Hollywood and down to Newport Beach in Orange County… A successGil trip was had!

We enjoyed our stay at this charming home. All our questions we’re responded to quickly. Highly recommend

Property worked out well. Was attending wedding in Glendale / Burbank areas. Peaceful backyard with incredible lemon tree and pond. A peaceful garden near the hustle of North Hollywood. New mall down the street with shops and grocery. Parking a bit questionable but hosts explain it to you. Enjoyed this property and would recommend to anyone visiting greater LA.

We all felt right at home in this beautiful home. This rental is wonderfully decorated. There was a spacious dining room where we had a family meal. Another night we socialized in the very comfortable living room and had a memorable evening of conversation. The landscaping in the backyard is amazing. It was the perfect place to meditate and gather after a day out. Layna was a terrific host and communicated very well with us. There's a brand new mall (NOHO West) a block away, within walking distance, with restaurants and coffee shops. Overall an outstanding experience.

Rented Layna and David's lovely home for my clients who were in the neighborhood for a month long work engagement. Everyone loved the house, especially the outdoor space. Layna was outstanding with communication and made everyone feel very welcomed. Really an all around fantastic rental experience.

The home itself is a gorgeous property. Much roomier than the photos depict. Especially the backyard / garden. We had a great time cooking in the kitchen on the vintage range / oven. The street was quaint, a short drive to many places we were interested in visiting. I wouldn’t recommend walking anywhere from this location... a stroll around the neighbourhood perhaps. Layna was very attentive and responded very quickly to questions and requests. Highly recommend this beautiful place!

We enjoyed staying at your VRBO home. It was comfortable and a peaceful environment. We felt safe on your property. Thank you.

The property was

Layna and David's home is a beautiful and peaceful getaway. The decor, the garden, the koi pond! All such special details and they are attentive and gracious remote hosts. The house is well organized for guests and we had no problem settling right in.

Great stay , very nice quiet neighborhood and house was great. Well stocked kitchen with everything needed to cook. I have never been to LA before and museums amazing. I have lots of respect for the people who drive here daily ! Garden was great to relax after busy day.

This is a great little home in a great location. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen is big with everything we needed, the yard was beautiful, and the place was very clean! Communication was great with the owners and we had no issues!

This is a charming home that has obviously benefited by the character of it's long term owners. It was a serene, quiet, beautifully appointed (and exquisitely clean) home that served as a refreshing home base for a trip in LA.

This was a great experience. The house and property are more impressive than the pictures. The kitchen was the stocked with sundries and cooking equipment, better than any other VRBO I've stayed at. The host was a good communicator with timely responses. The location is close to all major highways.

What a stunningly gorgeous place. The house is full of art from all over the world. It's much more spacious than it looks in the pics. I fell in love immediately, and really just wanted to move in. I don't know if life will bring me back to the LA area, but right now, for me, the biggest draw for going back would be to stay at this property again! The garden is stunning, the kitchen is incredibly well stocked, the beds were comfy. The property manager was really nice and both Layna and Jen were really helpful and accommodating of our needs. I want to put in a word about the neighborhood. My teen was a little disappointed that it wasn't as 'glitzy' as her dreams of LA. The house is a few blocks from a kind of commercial road with banks, businesses, restaurants, stores, etc. The neighborhood itself felt safe, quiet, and friendly. It was convenient to the highway, and there were several very good, reasonably priced restaurants nearby as well as a good supermarket. I wish we'd had at least another day to not do anything but hang out in the garden, cook in the fab kitchen, and lounge on the sofa. I'd love to have a long talk with the owners about the house, the plantings, the artwork, the vintage stove, their cookbooks, and so much more! I could go on and on. I guess that's what it's like when you fall in love...

In the chaos and craziness that is Los Angeles this artist's home provided the peace and tranquility that was greatly appreciated at the end of each day. It felt as if we were staying at a friend's home.

Easy, clean, comfortable, and such a beautiful home! The owner is a sweetheart and the property manager is very nice! We will ask them again if we need to find temporary housing in the near future!

Loved our time here! All the 5 star reviews are deserved. Easy communication with owner. Everything went smooth. Also, be sure to try Thai Victory restaurant nearby. Very modest in appearance , but great food, and the nicest people!
