About this property
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

A great house! Very comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen, great living area with every entertainment option available. Lovely outdoor area! And the host was super responsive and helpful! Would definitely stay again if I were in the area!
Was in town for a medical procedure that was close by, had a friend with to help me. Rich was very accommodating and quick to respond to each request or question. The home was clean organized. The kitchen was well equipped which we really appreciated since we did a lot of cooking. We enjoyed the outdoor space, very private, and felt very safe especially with the gate. This was by far one of my best experiences. Thanks for a grat stay.
Booked for a girls trip. House was perfect for our stay. Super close to universal studios and Burbank airport.Loved the outside, the owner takes good care of the property.
The place was gorgeous! Very private and super clean. Owner was very responsive and made sure we were comfortable. We will definitely be coming back if available again!
This awesome rental was centrally located for all the activities we had planned. It was super clean and Rich was a gracious and thoughtful host. Don’t hesitate to book this rental!
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.
This was the perfect location for our stay, central to all our points of interest.
Had all the basic amenities for our use (thanks for the pancake mix!) and the kids enjoyed having the ping pong table/corn hole for more entertainment. Rooms were clean and comfortable.
Instructions for checkin and throughout were very clear. Would definitely recommend a stay here!
It was lovely to stay in a house during our trip rather than a hotel. The host was very helpful giving us some wonderful suggestions for things to do. House was lovely with everything that we needed to make us comfortable. I would definitely recommend and would stay there again.
Rich's home and property are beautiful, and he is a 5-star host. We felt comfortable, safe, and cared for during our stay. We would absolutely return and recommend this listing to our friends!
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. :)
Nice secure home close to all Hollywood attractions.
This property was exactly as advertised! Gated entry spacious yard pleanty of room for a family of 4! Great location if you are looking to see the sights of Hollywood. We did Universal which was just 3 miles away! The owner was very responsive with any questions we had! Would definitely keep them in mind when we come back to LA.
This house is to cute! Tasteful decorated, has all the amenities you would look for in a vacation rental. I also appreciated that there were spices, oils, coffee and tea left in the rental. I love when I don’t have to spend a fortune on spices and other basic kitchen items when travelling. The location is super close to universal about 10-15 min drive. Many restaurants and grocery stores near by. Would stay again.
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,!!!
Had a great time. Nice and cozy. Loved the landscape, the high private gated fencing. My husband and my 16 year old and her friend. They were entertained with the ping pong table and overall enjoyed being outside. Plenty of good eats within 10-15 minutes. Target less than 10 minutes away. I mos def would stay again.
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.
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.
Four of us - 3 generations of family, stayed here for a few days at Universal Studios. House is about 15 minute drive and is very comfortable. One large master bedroom king sized bed and large bathroom with shower; smaller bedroom with full sized bed; living room has a long sofa that is sleepable. One full sized bath and small kitchen. Family room has a giant screen TV, really too large for the size of the room but that was OK. Dining table. Bar area. The yard has a ping pong table (we didn’t see the balls/paddles, but badminton set was handy; very large hammock and a couple of chairs. Also BBQ area. Very private with fully fenced yard and gated property. Convenient to N.Hollywood and surrounds. Very clean, very nice. Great responses from host. Stayed 2 nights.
