We had a great stay. The property was just as advertised. Very clean and well stocked. Perfect location for our needs, very private but close to everything. We will definitely stay again

The house itself is quaint and (very) secluded with comfortable sleeping accommodations and an excellent outdoor area. It's hidden behind office buildings and hotels, which is nice for privacy but makes Ubers very difficult to call as they cancel when they cannot find the gate. We stayed here because we have family in Mission Hills thinking we were very close, however, it was a 10 minute drive to the neighborhood. The proximity is directly up the canyon and very misleading because it's geographically close, but not a close commute. All of this was okay and we still would have given the property a better review if not for the owners treatment of us on Saturday night. There were 6 of us staying at the property, and Saturday night we invited exactly 5 friends over to play games and hangout for the 4th of July. We're in the living room playing board games when we get a knock on the door and it's the police. Apparently the owner had been watching the cameras (there are like 8 outside) and was under the impression we were having a party. We think because people came and went in separate Ubers and that triggered notifications on the gate. I didn't have my phone on me, so had missed calls from property management, so the owners felt the next logical step was to call the police on their guests. The officer rung the doorbell and was clearly frustrated that he'd even been called, as there was no outside noise and there were 8 people in the living room playing Twister. The officer's words verbatim were "The owner called the police and thinks you guys are having a party. Obviously that's not the case. I literally do not care." and he left in such a hurry we only had time to say โ€œthank you sirโ€. It was that ridiculous. So all in all the property is beautiful and well secluded, but not private. You'll have difficulty getting Ubers and you're not close to Mission Hills, but don't get too comfortable in your secluded space as the owners are watching you on camera and will call the police on you for playing board games late at night.
