About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Private, secure and lovely home minutes from Universal and Hollywood

Relax and enjoy the large front yard and mature citrus trees from behind the privacy of a fence with remote controlled gated entry. Open the french doors off the living room and sip your morning coffee on the patio amidst the vibrant purple bougainvillea. The grapefruits are easily the most fragrant and juicy I've ever had. If oranges are in season, pick some right off the tree and make some fresh squeezed juice

LA always has great weather but tends to cool down at nights in the 60s so enjoy that outdoor Cali lifestyle! Grab some logs from the woodpile and enjoy a nice fire in the chiminea while having a glass of wine or whiskey

The living room features a large sectional couch that easily seats 5 and there's a super comfy chaise lounge big enough for two. There is currently a 70" Sony HD SmartTV! Cable is through HULU streaming app along with Netflix and AppleTV hooked up- just sign in to your accounts to stream. There is also a Sony DVD/BluRay player and surround sound system for recreating that theatre-like experience. Many DVDs to choose from direct from the studios- if coming during Awards season many are still in the theatres. Bluetooth speaker streams any music platform you prefer (Spotify, Pandora, etc) directly from your smartphone or tablet. High speed wifi and a wireless printer available for you to print out boarding passes or amusement park tickets.

There is a gas bbq directly off the kitchen for grilling out and enjoying meals on the patio.
Please clean the grill after you use it.
There is a new 11ft cantilever umbrella to protect you from the sun yet still enjoy the outdoors.
Patio table comfortably seats 6. The seat cushions are brand new. Please put them away when not in use to keep clean and prevent fading

Long secured driveway can safely park your cars for free. You'll he just steps from the door. Always safe and convenient and no parking tickets that can put a damper on a vacation :)

Master bedroom is very spacious and over 16 feet wide. Stretch out and enjoy. Queen bed, MyPillow, nightstand, dresser and full closet system with places for shoes, valuables, etc. Plenty of room for your stuff for an extended stay

Second bedroom has a full sized bed and MyPillow and walk in closet. Both beds have memory foam toppers on them for a comfortable nights sleep

Guest access

Entire house is yours except for a side (3rd) room I have locked with my personal belongings and behind the blue curtain off the laundry room. I've just stashed some household items here and do not interfere at all with laundry use.

Interaction with guests

I will be staying in a detached guest house in the rear of the property. The house and guest house are completely separate structures so I can be as far or as close as you prefer.

Please let me know if there is anything I can do to make your stay more enjoyable. Happy to answer questions about navigating LA or activities during your stay

The neighborhood

NoHo is an up and coming neighborhood that is just minutes from Universal Theme Park, Burbank Airport and Burbank's studios (Disney, Warner Brothers and Nickelodean) and its Arts District features many dance studios (such as the world famous Millennium), the Art Institute, the Motion Picture Academy, restaurants with different cuisines, theatres, cafes, juice bars, coffeeshops and bars.

Getting around

I am 5 minutes from Burbank Airport ($7 Uber ride); 2 blocks from National Rental Car; freeway access to the (PHONE NUMBER HIDDEN) and 405 are all no problem.

The Metro NoHo is a 1 mile walk or you can drive and park in the lot. Just 1 stop later on the Red line and you're at Universal, 2 stops and you're in Hollywood

As a family of four with two teenage boys, we had a fabulous 5 night stay in Rich’s beautiful home. We loved the space, the cleanliness, the location, comfy beds and sofas, it really felt like home. Being able to bring the car in and shut the gates felt very safe and secure and was a huge bonus. We had the pleasure of meeting Rich when we first arrived, an absolute pleasure to chat to, and we hope to return at some point in the near future. Thank you so much. :)

home away from home

This was such a a fantastic find for our family! The home was beautiful with so many personal touches that you could tell it was owned by someone who took pride in their property. gorgeous backyard, lovely patio, and inside was perfect , plenty of extras needed for people being out of town! And finally!!! A home that had enough pillows and towels for everyone! Rich was great with all the details and his instructions were both helpful, informative and hilarious. I love that I felt like I knew him by the time we left. could not say enough about this home and it's owner. Thank you rich,!!!

It was legit a great experience, there are a few places to eat so if you are a foodie. We visited both Six flags and Universal studies, it wasn't a bad drive. Rich is super chill and really makes you feel welcome and the property was cute and private. I would give it a 10/10.

Stayed 4 nights to visit family and sight see around Hollywood, LA and the beach. House was perfect for our needs. It is well maintained with beautiful landscaping and a laid back vibe. Would come back next time we visit family in North Hollywood/Burbank. It's an extremely convenient location to the Burbank Airport.

Location Good, but some issues…

The house itself was nice and clean and spacious and good for what we needed being fairly close to the places we wanted to go. The host was very friendly and nice, but we didn’t realize that he was (maybe) also staying on the property. Or at the least having work done. It took away from the independence of the location. At times, we could hear the sawing and banging of hammers Also some chatter. The beds were okay, the pillow tops made them slightly uncomfortable. With the work going on around us, we didn’t want to take advantage of the lawn furniture or the backyard table. Overall our stay was okay, we just wished it was more private. I don’t believe any of the stuff happening behind us being mentioned in the listing.

From the first contact with the host to the last we were impressed with the responsiveness and care that was put into our stay. We were traveling with a disabled individual and the host went out of his way to accommodate the needs of our individual. There were no surprises and every area we wanted to visit was within a short driving distance which is important to know if you have every driven in LA traffic. Thanks Richard for a great stay. We will be sure to tell our friends if they are ever out your way.

This was the perfect location for our stay, central to all our points of interest.
