Leafy suburb just like home
We enjoyed our stay and we received a warm and friendly welcome by Debbie. She was very helpful and was willing to assist us with anything we needed. The property is not far away from restaurants, grocery stores and major freeways. The swimming pool is lovely, but we didn’t use it. Nice gardens and a relaxing feel to the place. The only concern we had was that one window facing the owners home did not hav any curtains, but Debbie explained that the cord was broken so we assume she will replace the window coverings. Comfortable bed and we had enough amenities to make our stay a pleasurable one.

Wonderful place to stay
Debbie was a kind and thoughtful host and her dog Moose is a sweetheart. The guest house was terrific - perfect size, comfy bed, walk in closet, amazing shower and the kitchen had everything we needed. Really comfortable and clean accommodation. The pool is lovely - I only wish we had had time for more than one swim. The neighbourhood is quiet and it’s a great location. Thanks Debbie - I thoroughly enjoyed my first visit to Los Angeles and I’m looking forward to coming back!

Great place
3 of us stayed there, the couch was big enough and comfortable for my teen daughter. The pool was amazing, poolside morning coffee watching the lizards was heavenly. Debbie was great with lots of good tips. Safe area close to everything we wanted to do. Would definitely stay there again. Friendly Doodle on site who will give snuggles if requested.

Super schöner Aufenthalt in einer kleinen Oase in L.A.
Debbie ist eine sehr liebenswürdige und aufmerksame Gastgeberin, mit der man auch mal ein nettes Gespräch führen kann. Wir waren sehr zufrieden mit unserer Unterkunft. Der Pool ist traumhaft, sehr sauber, groß genug zum Schwimmen und rund um die Uhr nach Belieben zugänglich. Wir finden es sehr empfehlenswert.

Sufficient
Owner was pleasant and reachable. Property does not contain the spa tub it advertised. Really hoped to enjoy that! Owner didn't know that was advertised. Some mold on the bathroom floor. Overall, sufficient, but not ranked in our top third.

Perfect LA getaway!!
We were in town for work and wanted to extend our stay to explore LA without breaking the bank. This beautiful property was a win in every respect! Debbie was such a friendly host and made sure we had everything we needed. The pool was a perfect spot to enjoy the afternoon sunshine, and we loved being within walking distance of coffee shops, restaurants, and grocery. Easy to hop onto the highway to explore other areas too. Thank you Debbie for sharing this lovely spot - it made our weekend!

Great place
This rental is a studio apartment. Has comfortable accommodations and very clean. You can cook in the kitchen. We did not. Great shower. Loved sitting out by the pool even though it was too cool for us to try it. Great location. Quiet neighborhood yet close to restaurants, shopping. The rental , location and friendly landlord met all of our needs. Debbie is a wonderful landlord. We’ll definitely rent again if it’s available. Thanks Debbie. Hope to see you again.

Great stay
We had the best stay at the cozy bungalow. Debra was amazing. We arrived just in time for the first hurricane in Los Angeles history so that was awesome. Debra made sure we were safe and had emergency lighting just in case the power went out. The room is well appointed. Cooking facilities are just what a person needs to make simple meals. Stay overall was just great.

Cool pool, comfy bed, great location!
The place was just as described. My partner had seen the listing over a year ago when planning a birthday trip. It got booked before he made up his mind and was super bummed. When he started planning this trip, we saw it was available and jumped on it. SOOO glad we did. The location is great. I was working from home and there was no shortage of coffee nearby. We were there on a VERY warm week and the pool was an amazing way to end my workday. I highly recommend Debbie’s place.

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
I am a mother, a teacher, a writer, a homeowner, and a traveler. I love to explore new places and choose to stay in neighborhoods rather than large hotels. I love getting to know a new city on foot - taking in the architecture, wandering through the parks, stopping at cafés, and talking to people. Having a home base when I'm in a foreign city makes me feel like my experience is a little more genuine.

As a history teacher, I love old cities that have weathered the centuries. Some of my favorites are London, Paris, Bruges, Amsterdam, and Rome. I also love high energy cities like New York and Tokyo. When a VRBO host leaves personal recommendations, I'm in heaven!

Owning a home in Los Angeles, I've always thought about being a VRBO host but with a demanding job, it wasn't going to happen. Now, I'm cutting back my work hours and think the time is right to share my guest house with others. I hope travelers will enjoy this little oasis with a beautiful private yard and pool - the perfect place to enjoy morning coffee or evening wine!
