House was cozy furniture looks good but couch is getting older could use replacing. Pool not really heated has solar heater, but just too cold to swim except summer. And overall what we excepted and was cozy and charming. Would come back.
We had the most wonderful stay at the bungalow.We were in town for Madador Day at CSUN and when all was done we enjoyed the hot tub and comfortable beds.It was easy to get around town with Lyft.Allison was fantastic with all her assistance.
Great space, quiet and relaxing. The hostess was very responsive. The home was clean, the beds were comfortable, we loved the decor. We brought our GSD with us, he loved the spacious yard. The back yard was beautiful with a great swimming pool and hot tub. Would definitely come back.
Our time in Van Nuys was to spend time with our children who live near for thanksgiving week. The outdoor area was perfect for our gathering on thanksgiving day.
Very cute property! Fun bohemian style house. Lots of outdoor living areas including the beautiful pool. Had a bit of trouble with WiFi and outlets not working. Also they recently had the washer break and the house smelled of mildew.
Close to everything, cozy, comfortable home in a good area close to the highway for access to beaches, Universal and downtown. Responsive host. We loved our stay! Thank you Alison!!
This house has it all! A HUGE pool our teens lived in, close access to the freeway for our Universal Studios and Disney trips and a great neighborhood. The house is beautifully decorated with many extras in case you forgot anything. We will definitely be staying here again.
We really enjoyed our stay, the pool was fantastic for the kids and the yard was nicely enclosed for our dog, who was super happy snoofling around for hours (although cats are frequent visitors!). The house is clean and cute and has everything you need. Only real drawback is that it's not particularly walkable to get to shops/restaurants, and if you are out walking at night with your dog or just for a stroll, then just be sensible about it given the surrounding area.
Communication from the owner was super clear and helpful, and they have clearly put good effort into making sure you have a good stay. The outdoor dining area is lovely and just has a really relaxing vibe. We took the family up to Magic Mountain, about half an hour up the 405, and it's a great base for anything in Burbank or that side of the Valley since you are literally 1 minute from the freeway but don't really hear the traffic from it.
Overall very recommended - for a cosy place with a pool that's close to so much stuff, can't go wrong.
We visited our nephew and had a great time. This rental is as-advertised. Unfortunately it was a bit too cold to utilize the pool, but it was very clean and the house and yard are beautiful.
We'd definitely stay again next time we visit LA!

Bohemian Cottage
Lovely house and decor. Great back yard and areas for dining indoors and outside. Nice home to spend the holidays.
We rented the house as it was close to where my son and daughter-in-law live so that we could attend a family event. The house was very clean and the location was private and quiet. The beds were really comfortable. The back yard and pool were beautiful and a wonderful place to relax. We enjoyed our stay very much!
This VRBO was the perfect location for us! My son, daughter-in-law, and grandson live close by and only took minutes to travel to their home.
Access to the Target, Costco and the Freeway was super easy. We traveled to Universal Studios on Sunday morning and traffic was minimal.
The house was well equipped with everything we needed. We had plenty of room for our family of 4. Having a pool was definitely a nice treat since we stayed here during the month of July.
We would definitely seek out this VRBO the next time we travel to Los Angeles.
Allison was very easy to contact when I had questions for her. Thank you!!!
Cute house exactly as described. Central location to Burbank airport, universal studios, Magic Mountain, and Santa Monica. Enjoyed the pool very much and lovely backyard setting. Property owner was a quick and responsive communicator.
My husband and our two kids, 3 & 6, stayed for a week and had such a relaxing week! The house had everything we needed and close to many adventures with the kids. We were able to unplug and relax all week in comfort, loved the boho vibe! Highly recommend!!
Stayed with family while visiting Universal Studios! Great place to gear up for the days and to rest in the evenings! Great retreat that felt relaxing from all busyness around you! Would definitely stay again!
We spent 2 weeks here and very much enjoyed it. Communication was easy with owner. Back patio was ideal for having dinners in the evening. House was well stocked with the essentials. The house is in a nice neighborhood and with the mature landscaping the yard and pool area feel very private. The location was great for us, our daughters were doing a summer dance intensive that was less than 2 miles away. The house is very close to the 405 and 101 freeways for easy access to LA or getting around the valley. Thanks!
We stayed at this lovely property for seven nights while visiting our oldest daughter, son-in-law and grandson. What a great choice! It is located in a quiet neighborhood but is easily accessible to everything. The outdoor area is perfect -- private and comfortable. We ate most meals outside on the covered patio throughout our stay -- and the pool really added to our grandparent "cred" with our grandson. It truly felt like a retreat.
We really appreciated being able to bring our dog -- she loved hanging out on the covered patio.
The owner is very nice to work with -- friendly, responsive and accommodating.
We love Los Angeles and we hope to return. We would love to get to stay at this property again.
This property is charming and a sweet little escape! Allison was communicative and a wonderful host. The bed was comfortable, the backyard is so inviting, and the kitchen was nicely stocked. It felt like comfortable home away from home, and we really enjoyed our stay.
We enjoyed our stay although the house does need some upgrades including new washer/dryer and refrigerator and air conditioners in both bedrooms. The air unit in the living room was great. There were 5 feral cats in the back yard every day and since I am allergic to cats I didn't go outside. Overall the house was very comfortable.
Absolutely Fantastic Place!! Words cant explain how happy we were staying here. The house, the yard, the pool, the close proximity to everything and most of all, the host, all A++++ !!!! It truly isn't something that can be explained in words, you just have to book it and experience it for yourself. It is the perfect getaway and has everything you need to feel right at home!! And the beds......oh the beds!!! Soooo Comfy. If your looking at other options, stop now and book this one!!! You wont regret it!!
