Wonderful place to stay

We were in LA for my brother's wedding, and it was the perfect place for us to converge. It was more than ample space for our party of five adults and two children. And also to entertain other family in town for the wedding. The apartment has everything a family would want: large bedrooms, lots of places to have some quiet time, well-stocked kitchen, and laundry facilities. Kristin provided lots of useful information and made our stay very comfortable. The location can't be beat. Easy drive to Santa Monica, Universal Studio, shopping centers, groceries, downtown LA. The street itself is very quiet and felt very safe. It was even within walking distance to some stores and restaurants! We are extremely happy with our stay and recommend it for anyone staying in LA.

Lovely accommodations for our girls getaway. The clean, spacious apartment is located in a very quiet residential area, a safe home away from home, with off street parking. Lots and lots of space, large bedrooms, dining room, living room, 2 baths, and the cutest kitchen, fully equipped. When at the property, you would never know that you are only minutes from main highways .. we were able to get everywhere we wanted to go very easily and quickly. Stores are all close by for easy grocery shopping, dining, etc. For any future LA trips, this will be my #1 choice for a place to stay – so much nicer than a hotel. Very nice owners are just upstairs and are more than happy to provide answers to questions, tips for fantastic neighborhood restaurants that you would not find on your own, and tips and tricks for how to avoid LA traffic (easiest routes). Highly recommend !!

The place to stay if you're in LA!

I cannot recommend this property enough. Kristin (the owner) was fantastic, making the booking and payment process really easy (despite being on opposite sides of the Atlantic!) and when we arrived, she was there greet us and we were made very welcome. There were even some basic provisions in the fridge! Kristin is also really helpful and always at the end of the phone if you need any advice, but our stay was absolutely perfect and we had no problems at all.
The pictures do not do this place justice, it is a gorgeous apartment, all very clean and tidy and modern and a great place to spend your holiday. The beds were comfy, the showers were hot and the location is perfect for getting into and out of LA - it is very very close to all the sites and to the freeway if you want to travel up/down the coast. The kitchen also has all the basics you might need for cooking, so you don't have to worry about buying in things like sugar/salt/cooking oil etc!
There were 6 of us and there was more than enough space - I cannot thank Kristin enough for a great holiday - a little home from home - and I would definitely stay here again.

Review Submitted: January 28, 2009 Date of Stay: January 2009
We had a fantastic time staying at this ideal apartment for 6 people over the New Year's period. It is well furnished, with 3 huge double bedrooms and all amenities and home comforts provided. Kristin made our stay so easy and was so welcoming, we cannot recommend staying here highly enough. Lovely quiet residential area to stay in, with off street parking and only minutes drive to the heart of Hollywood. We had a fantastic stay here and wouldn't even dream of getting a hotel the next time we thought about going to Los Angeles. Highly recommended and extremely comfortable!

Thank you for renting your lovely apartment to me and my family during the long weekend of my daughter's wedding celebration. Our four nights at your home provided us a true home in which to relax, be together as a family, and use as a home base to the activities of the weekend. The lovely, quiet neighborhood added to the warm interior ambiance. Local stores were nearby, so that we could pick up food and other necessities easily and quickly. We'd definitely recommend your apartment to friends and family who visit LA, and would use it again if any of us were there.

Thank you,

Judy

We truly enjoyed our stay at this first floor duplex. It has large rooms and is very clean. The location is close to many restaurants and attractions of LA...The neighborhood was safe. The owner lives in the upstairs duplex and is available to answer any of your questions. It was so much nicer than a hotel room.
We will stay here again. Thanks Kristin for all your help.

This is a delightful property we all had the most amazing time here! There was nothing missing and all of our expectations were surpassed. It was a family trip that we will never forget and we are so happy we were able to spend that time together in this beautiful home. We were a family of six staying for Five weeks, and had plenty of room for cooking, dining together at the really beautiful dining-room or just relaxing in the cozy-clean living room. All the rooms were spacious and parking was never a problem.

Since it was the first time for the family to visit Los Angeles a lot of friends visited us and we were able to use a backyard taverna for barbeque during weekends. The neighborhood is nice and quiet, but you will have all the L.A. attractions 5 minutes away only. A special thanks to the owners of the place Patrick and Kristin who are terrific host that will respond to your needs. The Kids really missed the house and of course Patrick.

I will definitely recommend this place to all of my friends. “IT’S DEFINITELY HOME AWAY FROM HOME”

Review Submitted: May 8, 2008 Date of Stay: May 2008
We stayed at the Spanish Colonial in April, 2008 and were pleasantly surprised to find it was better than we expected. The apartment was immaculate. The neighborhood is beautiful and incredibly quiet: even though we were in the heart of LA and only one block away from two major avenues, we slept with our windows open and heard nothing but birdsong. The bedrooms in this apartment are all very spacious and sunny and there is way more closet space than you'd ever use. The bathrooms are excellent, with big walk-in showers and one has a bathtub. The kitchen is kind of old-fashioned, but it combines the feel of a Hollywood bungalow with all the appliances we needed, and the hosts supplied it with loads of dishes and cookware. They also let us throw a party for friends in their backyard taverna, which was really nice since that is not advertised as part of the rental. There was plenty of room in the house for our family of 5 to hang out together and watch TV or play games, or have meals in the dining room. We liked the fact that we could do laundry whenever we wanted - that and being able to cook saved us loads of money (which the kids spent at Disneyland.... but anyway!) We stayed for 10 days but we could easily have stayed for several weeks. I highly recommend this property. The owners certainly did everything they could to make our stay pleasant.
