PICTURE PERFECT minutes to UNIVERSAL STUDIOS & HOLLYWOOD: Rated 10/10!!!

Weekly and monthly discounts! *Heated Pool*, free parking and rated 10 out of 10 by Guests: 1951 charm meets the 2020s - welcome to Sherman Oaks, California. Updated and redecorated, this ultra-clean, private home sleeps 6 comfortably. Great for relaxing and sunning with pool, big patio table & chaise loungers. Super comfy beds with fluffy comforters & plenty of soft towels in the baths. Gourmet kitchen and a coffee station too. Enjoy the peaceful environment while being close to all the fun stuff L.A. has to offer. Early check-in often OK; just text me.

NOTE: Home is 2 main streets from trendy Ventura Blvd and very freeway on/offramp close - compare to other listings that are further north... being south is preferable in this neighborhood.

King bed in front master, Queen bed in pool-view back, and Queen Plus in convertible den (American Leather Sleeper Sofa with no bar in the middle) with privacy doors.

Great local neighborhood for walking. There are also beautiful hiking trails nearby in the Santa Monica Mountains. If you're traveling without a car and need to get somewhere fast, I'm usually available for a quick shuttle service!! If you do have a car, there's plenty of parking. Check Metro.net for public transportation.

Distance (approximate) from Andy's VRBO to the following:

Universal Studios - 4 miles (6km)
Hollywood Walk of Fame - 7 miles (11km)
Burbank Airport - 7 miles (11km)
West Hollywood - 7 miles (11km)
Beverly Hills - 8 miles (13km)
Downtown Los Angeles - 12 miles (20km)
Santa Monica Beach - 18 miles (29km)
LAX Intl Airport - 21 miles (34km)
Malibu Beach - 28 miles (45km)
Disneyland - 40 miles (64km)

*$15-$100/day to heat pool. 85 degrees (f) is avg temperature when heated but can be lower if you want. Rate varies depending on time of year: colder months higher, warmer months lower (and often not needed at all in summer months). NO profit on gas cost, just covers the expense!

As noted in other sections of this listing: I LIVE ON THE PROPERTY IN A SEPARATE/PRIVATE GUEST UNIT IN THE BACK THAT IS ACCESSED VIA THE DRIVEWAY (the driveway runs along the side of the dining room and kitchen windows). The entire house, pool and backyard are all yours; the back half of the driveway and my house are gated and fenced for privacy for both of us.

Andy was an incredible host, from checking in with us before we got there to find out what we needed to anticipating what we needed after we got there. I came for a surgery so we spent all our time recovering at this beautiful house. The neighborhood is charming and you couldn’t possibly want anything more. The back yard and pool are an oasis of relaxation. There is a Whole Foods literally right down the street so you can get food and the stove is something a master chef could appreciate! We loved staying at this house and will definitely stay here again when we find ourselves in this area!
