Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Although perfectly handsome, this home doesn’t look particularly different from any other house on the street – but once you get inside, you'll see that it’s another story. It's a treasure trove of exciting features, from the fountains and Buddha statues in the garden to the swanky kitchen and wine cellar inside. The pool provides some welcome respite from the hot Californian sun, and the eight-foot barbecue is perfect for feeding an alfresco feast to hungry guests. There's even a Japanese-style garden at the front of the house where you can find a moment of peace and serenity. When the sun goes down, you can settle in with a movie in the home cinema room, or stay outside to enjoy some drinks on the patio, complete with mood lighting. And, if you fancy venturing out from this oasis, Universal Studios is seven minutes away, while a fifteen-minute drive will take you to Hollywood.

This home is managed by Steven
This home is managed directly by its owner who will be your point of contact before and during your stay. Looking around his house, it’s clear that Steven has an eye for the finer things in life. He’s often travelling for work, and it seemed a shame to leave the house empty while he was gone, so he turned to hosting and hasn’t looked back.
