The gardens at front and back with the large pool are lovely. The home feels very private. We were a family of 4 from the UK with kids (age 11 and 13) and there was lots of room for all of us to relax. The house is in a lovely tree lined street, opposite a golf course and is very quiet, but just a few blocks away are shops and lots of good restaurants. The home is also very close to Universal Studios. The owners could not have been more accommodating. Suzanne and Ethan were a joy to deal with and really went out of their way to make sure our stay was perfect. We highly recommend this home - and would definitely love to stay again. ### 8/10 Good #### Athanasios G.

Really appreciated all the games that were available in the gorgeous back yard with a pool. Owner was very fast to respond to questions. We found that some of the sheets were not clean and had to wash them again. We also had to purchase toilet paper as there was not enough in stock. Finally, there was not coffee or sugar readily available, you would expect that in such an expensive property these amenities would be offered. Overall, the house was beautiful and our family had a wonderful time there so we would stay again. ##### Athanasios G.

Mar 12, 2016 #### Fantastic Stay in Toluca Lake What a wonderful time we had during our stay at Suzanne and Ethan's home. While our day's may have been spent out seeing the sights the early morning's and the late evenings were spent out by the most wonderful pool and hot tub one could imagine. Close enough to most attractions without having to drive for hours but yet the gardens and pool area were very secluded and gave a sense of being out away from the hustle and bustle of city life. Toluca Lake was a charming little area and we had hoped to see some celebrities jogging by and while we did see a lot of people out and about we recognized no one, but we kept hoping. I would certainly return to this house in the future as I can't really think of any negatives we encountered. The home itself was a dream, well decorated, maintained and the art work inside was fantastic. If you get a chance to vacation in LA, by all means make this one high on your list ##### RON T. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Eduardo F.

Oct 12, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Best Experience in Toluca Lake My family booked a short weekend getaway at Suzanne's amazing Toluca Lake house. From the moment we booked, to our arrival, and departure Suzanne was always available and responsive. She made sure we arrived and checked-in safely. Suzanne also provided thorough information about the surrounding area (dining options, things to do, etc). The house itself is amazing - from the private and secluded back yard (more on that later), size & segmentation of the rooms, the stocked kitchen, and the calm-quiet surrounding area it's really hard to ask for anything more. The large yard has a safe and clean pool, a separate play area for the kids, and a large green space. The yard has shady areas from the trees and when you're back there you really do feel like there is no one else around. The house is very well taken care of through and through. Given covid and the emphasis on cleanliness the house was spotless. Suzanne also left out clorox wipes and ample cleaning supplies. Whenever we needed something we found it in one of the drawers or storage areas! If you ever have a chance to stay at Suzanne's place I would highly recommend it. I definitely plan to return and thank Suzanne for making our stay one to remember! ##### Tony H. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alexis P.

Neighbourhood is lovely and quiet. THere is a number of interesting food options. With no tourist, it seems away from the crowds. Crowds are not far away though, and make any drive to anything a tad longer than I expected they would be. My mistake probably. Eventhough I kind of know my way in LA, shortcuts take the same time as main routes. The owners were a dream to deal with, about anything, any question, any request. They were patient enough to accomodate delays from my bank for a wire. Ethan and Suzanne are as nice to deal as can be, and that matches the care they took in designing and maintaining their house, which says a lot. Everything, any amenity is pristine. You feel at home, and returning to the calm of the house is very much looked forward to, especially when stuck in LA traffic! The house is really, really big. I can't say we used the sitting room, or the media room, or the exercise room, or the office. Although we would have loved to, but we were enjoying ourselves so much sitting on the deck or in the backyard. They are manicured, by the way. I must point out that there is no hidden surprise or no let down. What you see in pictures is at least what you get in real life. ##### PASCAL H.

Aug 20, 2015 #### Gorgeous House in a wonderful LA neighbourhood We were two families staying for one week in the LA area. This house was the perfect place for us. Such a relaxing spot. The garden and swimming pool are wonderful, and the interior of the house is a dream. The location was great for Universal studios within about 5 mins, and within about 30 mins we were in Beverley Hills, Santa Monica, and other great tourist spots. I would highly recommend this house. The owner, Suzanne, was wonderful with every requirement we had. ##### AnnMarie C. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Charles B. Apr 4, 2015 #### Gorgeous House 15 Minutes from Hollywood Four of my friends an I rented this home to get together with some classmates in the LA area. We wanted a place that was beautiful and quiet but accessible to both Pasadena and Hollywood where we have friends and family. The house is even nicer than the pictures depict. The rooms were very spacious, beautifully decorated and with excellent beds. There was a well equipped kitchen and understandable HVAC systems. The pool and spa were immaculate and the grounds well maintained. The owners, Suzanne and Ethan, were unfailingly gracious and accommodating, and responded quickly to any needs or inquiries. The neighborhood, borders a gold course, is full of similarly beautiful homes and grounds and is great for walking or jogging. We've rented several places on VRBO, all nice, but this was the best. ##### Charles B.

My husband, our 2 small children, my mother and I rented this beautiful home a couple of months ago for Christmas. We were initially concerned as although we have hired villas around the world before we have always dealt with property agents which gave us some comfort and assurance that wiring ££££££/$$$$$$ would be relatively risk-free! We had never rented a home directly but the lovely property owners were so utterly accommodating, helpful and considerate that Nick and I were pinching ourselves and thinking ‘too good to be true’! We exchanged a number of emails before taking the plunge and wiring the requisite funds to cover rent and deposit but we really had nothing to worry about - they did their utmost to ensure that our arrival at the house and our enjoyment of it was virtually seamless. They were so considerate they even stayed up until the early hours to make sure we'd arrived safely from the UK. The house is so warm, welcoming and a real home from home. Our only regret is we didn't stay longer! The couple made our Christmas very special. The house was perfect for our Christmas celebration with our American family. We loved being in the pool and our 2 boys enjoyed table tennis and entertaining us on the super patio. The local areas is very safe and a delightful place to wander about. Our hosts left us lots of information so we found settling in easy and quick. I have no hesitation in recommending S & E as your hosts and their home is one we all wish for!

The house is huge and nice. Everything in the house was as expected and better. The swimming pool is private. The owners were very helpful and tried hard to accommodate our requests. A faulty iron was exchanged straight away. We had so much fun and we wanted to stay more. This will definitely be our choice of accomodation whenever we are in LA!

The hosts were very helpful in getting us acquainted to their very comfortable home. Having Suzanne and Ethan available to familiarize us with their home really eased our minds. Both of them are very nice people to talk to and deal with. The home is in a very safe and warm and friendly neighborhood. Great for walks up to Universal City or the CityWalk or into the quaint town of Toluca Lake. It is a very peaceful neighborhood and the home has a great amount of space to enjoy. We found ourselves relaxing while reading a book or just kicking back to watch TV. The upper entertainment room overlooking the pool was our number one spot to relax. We traveled with our family of four including two children (6 & 10). The kids felt right at home as this home provided a great back yard to play catch or just lounge around. The pool and spa also reside in the very spacious backyard. It took us a while to figure out the pool settings, but really enjoyed the spa as well. The visit was very enjoyable and we would recommend to any family wishing to be in a private neighborhood that is very quiet and very safe. Thanks Suzanne & Ethan and family for such a nice visit.

It is in a very convenient location to LA and walking distance to universal Studios. Tree lined street, beautiful gardens abound - we could have been in Wisteria Lane ! The house was well equipped with everything to make a wonderful holiday we were particularly impressed with both of the laundry facilities. We shared the house with another family and there was plenty of space for everyone. The Owners of the property were the icing on the cake. they were able to organize a babysitter and recommend amazing places to dine and shop, (the japanese around the corner was outstanding). We would love to visit again.

The house is ideally located in a quiet beautiful neighborhood where you can walk to restaurants and shops but is also central to all of the sights of Los Angeles. The house itself is impeccably designed and furnished including top of the line appliances and fixtures. There is a magnificent yard and pool out back that is perfect for kids or entertaining. The owners are accommodating and lovely. It is rare to come across such an exquisite property, especially in the rental market. The next time we're in Los Angeles I wouldn't dream of staying anywhere else. ##### Deanna F.

The pool and safety cover is ideal for families with young children and the close proximity to Universal Studios great for older kids. Premium and comfortable furnishings made it a 'special' home from home ##### Amy H. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Loews Hollywood Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Loews-Hollywood-Hotel.h790158.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Los Angeles International Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Los-Angeles-International-Airport.h15407.Hotel-Information) > > [The Godfrey Hotel Hollywood](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-The-Godfrey-Hotel-Hollywood.h32945867.Hotel-Information) > > [W Hollywood](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-W-Hollywood.h3084874.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Santa Monica Hotel & Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Hilton-Santa-Monica-Hotel-Suites.h2944.Hotel-Information) > > [SLS Hotel, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Beverly Hills](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-SLS-Hotel.h11751.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Los Angeles L.A.
