Great stay in Studio City
Our stay at Ed & Rada's place was great! Good location for visiting Universal Studios and Hollywood area. It was also close to a lot of restaurants and grocery stores within walking distance. The beds were very comfortable. Lots of space for our family of 6. One thing that would have been nice would to have had some towel racks in the bathrooms to hang towels on. Thanks for letting us rent your place!!

Great location and perfect place to stay!
This was a perfect vacation rental for our weekend getaway! It was a short ride to Universal Studios, and we were able to avoid the parking fees by taking Lyft/Uber. The location is walking distance to Trader Joe's, as well as lots of great shops and restaurants. Everything was quite clean, though one of the beds seemed to have some sand or something in it. However, there was plenty of extra bedding available, so it was easily resolved. Check-in and Check-out were very easy as well. Overall, a great rental and I would definitely stay again with a group!

Great property
We enjoyed our stay. It's located very close to Universal Studios in a safe quiet neighborhood. It was very easy to communicate with Rada and Ed and check in/out was a breeze. The beds were very comfortable and loved having 3 bathrooms for the 6 of us. We would definitely stay there again.

Pros:
Great parking
Location location location
nearby shopping, restaurants, coffee...walking distance
good size for family
washer and dryer
full kitchen
patios, rooftop patio
fans
central air
cable tv
cable in the master bedroom
big master bathroom
lots of plates
Cons:
No laundry detergent
only a dirty sponge to wash dishes
empty salt and shaker?
ANTS!!--These were taken care of my the property owner
ONE dull knife
Not too many cups...plenty of coffee cups and wine glasses
Empty paper towel dispenser
Ran out of toilet paper
It was 85 degrees inside when we got there, took several hours to cool off
Half eaten bag of chips
floor was dirty, very dusty inside
Couch was dirty and cracked and beat up
It was overall comfortable but had a generally dingy feel to it. IF we had rags or paper towels or anything we could have wiped the table. I didn't want to use your nice wash cloths.
SUGGESTION: get some floor mats. Blanket in front of the door doesn't look very nice. The kitchen could use a floor mat as a reprieve from the nasty floors. Bath mats for safety. Get rid of that horrible couch.
Little changes can make it more homey.

Great!
We loved this house! It’s central to everything we wanted to do. Universal Studios was so much closer than we thought! That was nice after a long day there. Thank you Ed and Rada for a great week for our family.

Nice place!
Our family stayed here during our visit to Universal Studios. I was surprised how short of a drive it was to Universal. Nice location. This condo is so spacious with unique fixtures and furniture. Huge closets, quiet neighborhood, close to Trader Joes for groceries. For the most part the condo was stocked well with blankets, towels, kitchen supplies. There was some items that we found that could have been useful but were not in the condo (sharp knives, kitchen towels, paper towels). I believe the pillowcases and sheets were cleaned, but we did notice stains many dark stains on the pillows. I'd recommend replacing the pillows on some frequency. Overall, however, we truly enjoyed our stay and loved how our vehicle was secure in the locked garage. Our kids' favorite part was the curved couch :)

Studio City Chic
We are a family of 3 adults and 3 children 8,10, and 12 and had plenty of room in this property. The 2nd bedroom had bunks with full size mattresses which was nice. It was located on a quaint side street, close to Universal and WB. Location is a big plus. We had plenty of hot water. Rooftop deck with table for six was nice at night. Kitchen was moderately stocked. If you are planning on cooking a lot, come prepared. Check in required a call to the owner to explain parking garage. Not a big deal, but something to know ahead of time. Garage parking was great, especially in this area. If you have a problem with stairs, know there are 3 flights of stairs to access the entire property.

Great location and nice property
The property was clean and well maintained. There were lots of fresh linens and towels. It was within walking distance to shops & nice restaurants. It was also an ideal location to get to the highway quickly and not long drive times to beaches and other places tourists might like to visit. We all had a great time staying at your place. Thank you.

Great place nice neighborhood and atmosphere. Very clean and spacious. The place isn’t too far from most attractions. Speedy responses and communication with the home owners. Would stay here again.
4.0
We enjoyed the place very much. It slept our group of 10 very comfortably. The owners were very nice and very accommodating. Great communication also. The location was good with many conveniences within walking distance. Although our large van wouldn’t fit in the garage space we easily found street parking. Also, on Sunday the Studio City Farmers market is right down the street. Condo was well equipped with linens, blankets and towels. Kitchen basics, paper towels, tinfoil, garbage bags etc..were missing so I just recommend checking with owner prior to make sure whether or not these items will be stocked upon arrival. I would highly recommend this rental and would love to stay again.

Absolutely loved staying here. 5 min. drive to Universal Studios which we visited for 2 days. The apartment was clean with a modern feel. We loved having breakfast upstairs on the roof patio. Our party had 4 adults and 3 kids, plenty of space. Everyone had a fantastic time.

Unit was freshly cleaned when we arrived and the private parking garage was a huge bonus. There was plenty of room for the 6 people in our part to sit, sleep, and eat. We had an injured member of our party so we spent more time in the condo than we expected but it was relaxing and comfortable. We cooked meals there, walked to some awesome restaurants down the street, and took Lyft to some places too. Everything is so easy to get to. Trader Joe's is literally a 3 minute walk if you need groceries. If you want to eat out, there's everything from Japanese to American Fusion down the street. We also took a Lyft to Universal Studios and it was less than $10 as 10 minutes. I will definitely book again if we are ever in the area.

This home was clean with a nice view from the roof deck. The owners were available quickly for any questions. They were flexible with the check in time being later than two. It was close to Ventura Blvd. which had many shops and restaurants. It's a very nice place to stay.

We loved our stay. DO Not Pass up this spot! The property was in a great neighborhood, just a block off Ventura. There were tons of restaurants(Sushi, Mexican, BBQ, Japanese), cafe's and a Trader Joe's within a 5-7 min walk at most. The Farmer's Market on Sunday was fun, and close. Truly a 5 min drive to Universal, maybe 10 if you hit a light. The house was HUGE! We had 4 adults and 4 kids (5-13) and we were very comfortable. If needed, we could have blown up a queen air mattress in the Master room and still have room to spare! The 3rd floor rooftop patio was beautiful. The girls did their yoga up there every morning. The 2 parking spaces were wonderful to have, and enough space- we had a mini van and a Medium SUV and they fit no problem.

This place worked perfect for my group. I had 7 students and myself and this place was perfect for our trip to Universal Studios and downtown LA. My only complaint is that it would be nice to have some additional locks on doors. The upstairs door to the rooftop patio did not work and that made me a little nervous but the patio was private so that was good. The bathrooms didn't lock and neither did the bedrooms. Besides the locks everything else was perfect. The roads around the place can be busy so a light sleeper may want to bring ear plugs to avoid that. The house is fully stocked with everything we needed. Lots of extra blankets, towels, and pillows. Kitchen well stocked with blender, hot water pot, pots and pans. We were able to park our suburban in the parking spot which was great. We will definitely be using this unit again on our next trips to LA. One of the better rentals I have stayed in. Unit was clean upon arrival.

5 doctoral students stayed 8 days in this house as we attended a week of classes. Easy access location - we literally came from all over North America. The place was roomy, comfortable, and extremely well kept. SO much better than wasting money on a hotel. Look forward to coming again.

I recently rented this apartment for my brother and his young family who were visiting Los Angeles. I live in Studio City which is a fantastic part of LA, convenient to all the tourist attractions while having a local feel to the neighbourhood. The apartment is excellently located walking distance to bars, restaurants, supermarkets and shops. Travelling to tourist destinations is very easy from here. The apartment looks exactly like the pictures, well maintained, fully equipped and very clean. My brother and his family had a lovely stay and the owners are very helpful and everything was very straightforward.
