Spent a week here with my wife and daughter and really enjoyed it. The house is super well stocked and in a great location. The house and grounds are exceptional and suited us well. We had a great time and would recommend.
This home was exactly as listed- no surprises. It was clean and comfortable. The parking is a bit tricky on a busy street but otherwise id definitely visit here again. Close to UCLA for parents to visit.
Excellent Property in Bel Air Neighborhood. Exceptionally Clean, Well-Stocked, Nicely Appointed 3 Bedroom Single-Family Home with All the Amenities. Outdoor Heated Pool and Beautiful Landscaping added Immensely to Our Overall Enjoyment.
We were in town for graduation and rented this amazing home. It was incredibly well stocked and even more beautiful than the pictures. Check-in and all communication was easy. The street is very busy but you would never know once inside the home. The master is spacious but the other rooms are fairly small. I stayed in the non-master on the main level (the other is in a loft space) with my husband - although small, it was cozy and comfortable. We would definitely stay here again!
Our family of 4 had a great stay in this beautifully designed home.
The location was perfect for us to access everything we wanted to do in the area.
The owner responded immediately to all of our questions.
We would definitely stay again!
Our family had a wonderful stay with our adult children at this beautiful home.
The hosts we’re absolutely delightful to work with. You will enjoy your stay here!
The back yard is a peaceful oasis.
The property is absolutely stunning and the time we spent there was nothing short of magical.
Effi, the host, was also very responsive to queries and requests.
Came in for a business trip and everything was perfect. Effi provided an amazing experience and was very accommodating . The house was wonderful. I would definitely book here again.
We enjoyed every moment. The house was immaculate, gorgeous and filled with stunning art pieces. The stylish asian backyard was a peaceful and relaxing. The house was well stocked with all the supplies you need. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
When we looked at the photos of this home, we immediately fell in love with it. And we were not disappointed when we arrived. This home is comfortable and beautiful. The kitchen is spacious and packed with everything you need to make the perfect meal. Great location near UCLA, Hollywood, museums, and much more.
We’ve had the pleasure of staying in some very beautiful places, this one, however surpassed them all …. incredibly appointed and absolutely a serine escape in the middle of everything . Will definitely be back and recommend this highly for so many reasons . Thanks Effi for a wonderful escape from reality
LOVED LOVED LOVED Effie’s home!!! Absolutely beautiful and clean. The heated pool was amazing. Communication with Effie was easy. If I could give more than 5 stars I would.
We had the most wonderful stay at this property. The owner, Effi, was gracious and responsive. The property itself is pretty magical. The outdoor space is welcoming and relaxing. It was perfect for our family as one of the bedrooms is well removed from the common area so it can be dark and quiet for a baby. The house is also located a short ways from shops and restaurants making it easy to travel to and from. Would definitely stay again!
This beautiful house is also comfortable and very well-equipped with everything you need. The patio, garden and pool are spectacular! The house is also very private and quiet and owner responds to any question within minutes. As a family group with a couple of people working remotely, and others watching tv or enjoying the pool and patio, we had plenty of space to spread out. We would stay here again with no hesitation! Thanks for everything, Effi! Melissa
The picture portfolio paints the beauty of the place accurately. The four Buddhas welcome you to the external space and make any mediative activities a sure success as does the abundance of nature.
