About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Private, secure and lovely home minutes from Universal and Hollywood

Relax and enjoy the large front yard and mature citrus trees from behind the privacy of a fence with remote controlled gated entry. Open the french doors off the living room and sip your morning coffee on the patio amidst the vibrant purple bougainvillea. The grapefruits are easily the most fragrant and juicy I've ever had. If oranges are in season, pick some right off the tree and make some fresh squeezed juice

LA always has great weather but tends to cool down at nights in the 60s so enjoy that outdoor Cali lifestyle! Grab some logs from the woodpile and enjoy a nice fire in the chiminea while having a glass of wine or whiskey

The living room features a large sectional couch that easily seats 5 and there's a super comfy chaise lounge big enough for two. There is currently a 70" Sony HD SmartTV! Cable is through HULU streaming app along with Netflix and AppleTV hooked up- just sign in to your accounts to stream. There is also a Sony DVD/BluRay player and surround sound system for recreating that theatre-like experience. Many DVDs to choose from direct from the studios- if coming during Awards season many are still in the theatres. Bluetooth speaker streams any music platform you prefer (Spotify, Pandora, etc) directly from your smartphone or tablet. High speed wifi and a wireless printer available for you to print out boarding passes or amusement park tickets.

There is a gas bbq directly off the kitchen for grilling out and enjoying meals on the patio.
Please clean the grill after you use it.
There is a new 11ft cantilever umbrella to protect you from the sun yet still enjoy the outdoors.
Patio table comfortably seats 6. The seat cushions are brand new. Please put them away when not in use to keep clean and prevent fading

Long secured driveway can safely park your cars for free. You'll he just steps from the door. Always safe and convenient and no parking tickets that can put a damper on a vacation :)

Master bedroom is very spacious and over 16 feet wide. Stretch out and enjoy. Queen bed, MyPillow, nightstand, dresser and full closet system with places for shoes, valuables, etc. Plenty of room for your stuff for an extended stay

Second bedroom has a full sized bed and MyPillow and walk in closet. Both beds have memory foam toppers on them for a comfortable nights sleep

Guest access

Entire house is yours except for a side (3rd) room I have locked with my personal belongings and behind the blue curtain off the laundry room. I've just stashed some household items here and do not interfere at all with laundry use.

Interaction with guests

I will be staying in a detached guest house in the rear of the property. The house and guest house are completely separate structures so I can be as far or as close as you prefer.

Please let me know if there is anything I can do to make your stay more enjoyable. Happy to answer questions about navigating LA or activities during your stay

The neighborhood

NoHo is an up and coming neighborhood that is just minutes from Universal Theme Park, Burbank Airport and Burbank's studios (Disney, Warner Brothers and Nickelodean) and its Arts District features many dance studios (such as the world famous Millennium), the Art Institute, the Motion Picture Academy, restaurants with different cuisines, theatres, cafes, juice bars, coffeeshops and bars.

Getting around

I am 5 minutes from Burbank Airport ($7 Uber ride); 2 blocks from National Rental Car; freeway access to the (PHONE NUMBER HIDDEN) and 405 are all no problem.

The Metro NoHo is a 1 mile walk or you can drive and park in the lot. Just 1 stop later on the Red line and you're at Universal, 2 stops and you're in Hollywood

Other things to note

The backyard is currently being developed and is not part of the rental. Of course no work will be done to interrupt guest's privacy

As a family of four with two teenage boys, we had a fabulous 5 night stay in Rich’s beautiful home. We loved the space, the cleanliness, the location, comfy beds and sofas, it really felt like home. Being able to bring the car in and shut the gates felt very safe and secure and was a huge bonus. We had the pleasure of meeting Rich when we first arrived, an absolute pleasure to chat to, and we hope to return at some point in the near future. Thank you so much. :)

Easter weekend

It was legit a great experience, there are a few places to eat so if you are a foodie. We visited both Six flags and Universal studies, it wasn't a bad drive. Rich is super chill and really makes you feel welcome and the property was cute and private. I would give it a 10/10.

Great stay

This was the perfect location for our stay, central to all our points of interest. Had all the basic amenities for our use (thanks for the pancake mix!) and the kids enjoyed having the ping pong table/corn hole for more entertainment. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Instructions for checkin and throughout were very clear. Would definitely recommend a stay here!

Home away from home

It was lovely to stay in a house during our trip rather than a hotel. The host was very helpful giving us some wonderful suggestions for things to do. House was lovely with everything that we needed to make us comfortable. I would definitely recommend and would stay there again.
