Gated private house with own parking Sherman Oaks

Honestly the whole house was amazing. I will be booking here more often.

We liked the location which was very close to our daughter's apartment. We also appreciated the private gated parking, although the neighborhood seemed to be quite safe. The seating in the side yard with citrus trees was very nice, although because of the heat wave during our stay we did not have get to use it as much as we would have liked.

The morning after our arrival we discovered that the Keurig coffee maker did not work. I was very unhappy about this since I really, really need my caffeine fix in the morning. Contacted Eugene who came and took the machine, saying that he would fix it and bring it back that afternoon. Spent the rest of the day with our daughter, who offered to lend us her French press along with some coffee. I did not think I would need it but took it anyway and glad that I did, because the Keurig was nowhere to be seen. Contacted Eugene again and he brought it the following day and it worked. The next morning I had my first cup (yay!) However, when my husband tried to get a cup the machine again refused to oblige. (Here I might interject that he does drink tea, although he prefers coffee.) My suggestion is: since this was an "old model" perhaps it is time to upgrade to a newer model. Or, alternately, spring for a cheap drip coffee maker (Mr. Coffee comes to mind) which always works. My other issue is the bathroom. There are no hooks or towel bars to hang up towels which is slightly annoying but not really a deal-breaker. But the other issue is more pressing: the tub is very deep and it is a bit of a challenge for us older people to get into it. It also has no grab bar and the tup is very slippery. I would suggest at the very least to have a rubber bath mat in the tub for safety when showering.

We wanted a location in walking distance to a relative's house for a family reunion gathering and this unit was right in the neighborhood (all residential, no hotels nearby). We liked the modern amenities and contemporary interior design. Bed was very comfortable and included large pillows and a thick quilted-down bedcover. Bathroom had convenient tub/shower combo with Euro-style hand-held or wall-mounted flexible shower head. Huge walk-in closet in bedroom. Fruit-filled citrus trees in garden.

A few additional items would have made the unit perfect. There were no towel racks or hooks in the bathroom and no full-length mirror to use while dressing. And while other utensils and tools were spotless, the iron provided had something burned on its heating surface and was unusable. The securely gated parking area was nice to have but a bit tricky to navigate into with anything bigger than a subcompact car.

* Schöne, gemütlich eingerichtete Wohnung * Eigener Parkplatz mit elektrischem Tor – in Los Angeles ein großer Pluspunkt * Kostenlose Kaffeekapseln als nettes Extra * Klimaanlagen in beiden Räumen sorgen für angenehmes Raumklima * Sehr bequemes Bett * Zwei Smart-TVs, die problemlos funktionieren * Begehbarer Kleiderschrank mit viel Stauraum

* Außenbereich wirkt etwas ungepflegt (Unkraut, Spinnen – besonders abends am Eingang) * Vereinzelt Insekten in der Unterkunft (z. B. Spinnen, Motte, Weberknechte, Insekt aus dem Abfluss) * Reinigung könnte gründlicher sein (teilweise Staub) * Kein Handtuchhalter vorhanden, was im Alltag unpraktisch ist * Schlafzimmer lässt sich nicht vollständig abdunkeln (Vorhang deckt nicht alles ab) * Kein Ganzkörperspiegel vorhanden * Check-in (16 Uhr) und Check-out (10 Uhr) etwas unflexibel * Kleidung hat nach dem Aufenthalt einen unangenehmen Geruch angenommen
