"Great location for groceries, pharmacy, coffee shop, restaurants, and less than a mile to the freeway. It’s located in a beautiful neighborhood in Studio City. My family & I planned to visit Universal Studios, so it was a quick drive (under 15min). It was nice stay with my parents and 2 kiddos, so having a spacious living space and blow up mattresses was very convenient. It was great to have our vehicle in a designated spot versus parking on the street.My suggestions, which are somewhat similar to other reviewers, were sent directly to the host."
