Patrick was an amazing communicator and always checking in. The house was very comfortable and neighborhood was quaint and felt safe. The reason for 4 stars is because there are a few maintenance items that should be taken care of and the 4th bedroom was advertised with a twin bed, however, there was no twin bed. There was a fold out that could be added, but not a real twin bed. Not the end of the world.

Nice property. Faulty entry lock.
A lovely home with a serene back yard in a pleasant, quiet neighborhood. The only problem was that on the last day we returned in the evening after a day at Disneyland to discover that the front door lock did not respond to our code. We could not contact the owner and neither could VRBO. It was no fun to have to find a decent hotel with an available room in an unfamiliar neighborhood after midnight. And then look for an all-night pharmacy for essentials. If you book this nice place, be sure you have a way to contact the owner in an emergency.

Quiet pleasant oasis & well-equipped suburban retreat home in pleasant safe neighborhood
We were the parents & family ‘of-the-bride’ who all travelled a very long way to LA. As weddings can be chaotic (but oh so wonderful! ) occasions, I knew we’d need a quiet place to retreat to in between all the wedding events. Plus we needed good kitchen to cook in - specifically for a family member with food intolerances/allergies that could not eat out. The kitchen was perfect! This house is also just a short drive to some really great grocery stores that carry speciality items. For our family the location ideal. Host Patrick was always at the end of a text &/or message addressing any issues - & in a very timely manner too. When we return to Encino we will defiantly try to book this home again.

Spring Break in LA
Lovely home in a quiet Encino neighborhood. Just 5 minutes from restaurants and shopping on Ventura Blvd. with easy access to both the 101 and 405. About an hour to Disneyland on the weekend and 30 minutes to Universal, Santa Monica Pier, and Venice Beach during the week. Patrick was a great host; he responded quickly to all questions and even gave us access to the house an hour early when our flight landed ahead of schedule. Great property for our multi-generational traveling party (80s, 50s, and teens). Would stay here again.

Great quiet home close to studios
We stayed here recently on a trip to LA to visit some of the studios, Hollywood, Burbank, and Malibu. Great location if you are looking to stay in the northern end of the LA area. The home is beautiful and the backyard is a wonderful relaxing retreat. Would absolutely stay again!!

This house had everything we needed for the "overflow" family members gathering in Encino for an early Christmas. The location was ideal and communication with the property manager was excellent. Beds were very comfortable and the shower (nearest the kitchen) was particularly great.

Very nice stay in Encino!
Patrick is a very responsive host, and answers all questions promptly. The Encino house is comfortable, and in a very nice and quiet neighborhood. Good kitchen appliances, and a good washer and dryer. The beds were very comfortable, and the layout of the house worked well for our four adult family members. Having the den as additional space (we didn't use it as a bedroom) was also a very nice feature for us. Check-in was very easy, and Patrick provided clear instructions before we arrived. Plenty of parking space for our two rental cars, which was an added bonus!
Thanks, Patrick! We enjoyed our stay!

Well-kept house with great back yard
We had my son and daughter-in-law's baby shower here. It's a great house for a party b/c it has a large and inviting back yard. The beds are comfortable and the kitchen well-stocked. The only drawback is that there are mosquitoes, so bring along Deet or another insect repellant.

Great house in great location
This 3BR house was located in a quiet and family oriented neighborhood of Encino. Short minutes from shopping, restaurants and cafe. The neighborhood is very safe and great for afternoon walks, with easy access to trails on Balboa park. The house was clean, well organized and had everything we needed for our 13day stay. We will definitely comeback again! Thank you Patrick for being a great host and very responsive when needed!!
