Great stay in Studio City
Our stay at Ed & Rada's place was great! Good location for visiting Universal Studios and Hollywood area. It was also close to a lot of restaurants and grocery stores within walking distance. The beds were very comfortable. Lots of space for our family of 6. One thing that would have been nice would to have had some towel racks in the bathrooms to hang towels on. Thanks for letting us rent your place!!

Great location and perfect place to stay!
This was a perfect vacation rental for our weekend getaway! It was a short ride to Universal Studios, and we were able to avoid the parking fees by taking Lyft/Uber. The location is walking distance to Trader Joe's, as well as lots of great shops and restaurants. Everything was quite clean, though one of the beds seemed to have some sand or something in it. However, there was plenty of extra bedding available, so it was easily resolved. Check-in and Check-out were very easy as well. Overall, a great rental and I would definitely stay again with a group!

Great property
We enjoyed our stay. It's located very close to Universal Studios in a safe quiet neighborhood. It was very easy to communicate with Rada and Ed and check in/out was a breeze. The beds were very comfortable and loved having 3 bathrooms for the 6 of us. We would definitely stay there again.

Many pros, some cons
Pros:
Great parking
Location location location
nearby shopping, restaurants, coffee...walking distance
good size for family
washer and dryer
full kitchen
patios, rooftop patio
fans
central air
cable tv
cable in the master bedroom
big master bathroom
lots of plates
Cons:
No laundry detergent
only a dirty sponge to wash dishes
empty salt and shaker?
ANTS!!--These were taken care of my the property owner
ONE dull knife
Not too many cups...plenty of coffee cups and wine glasses
Empty paper towel dispenser
Ran out of toilet paper
It was 85 degrees inside when we got there, took several hours to cool off
Half eaten bag of chips
floor was dirty, very dusty inside
Couch was dirty and cracked and beat up
It was overall comfortable but had a generally dingy feel to it. IF we had rags or paper towels or anything we could have wiped the table. I didn't want to use your nice wash cloths.
SUGGESTION: get some floor mats. Blanket in front of the door doesn't look very nice. The kitchen could use a floor mat as a reprieve from the nasty floors. Bath mats for safety. Get rid of that horrible couch.
Little changes can make it more homey.

Great!
We loved this house! It’s central to everything we wanted to do. Universal Studios was so much closer than we thought! That was nice after a long day there. Thank you Ed and Rada for a great week for our family.

Nice place!
Our family stayed here during our visit to Universal Studios. I was surprised how short of a drive it was to Universal. Nice location. This condo is so spacious with unique fixtures and furniture. Huge closets, quiet neighborhood, close to Trader Joes for groceries. For the most part the condo was stocked well with blankets, towels, kitchen supplies. There was some items that we found that could have been useful but were not in the condo (sharp knives, kitchen towels, paper towels). I believe the pillowcases and sheets were cleaned, but we did notice stains many dark stains on the pillows. I'd recommend replacing the pillows on some frequency. Overall, however, we truly enjoyed our stay and loved how our vehicle was secure in the locked garage. Our kids' favorite part was the curved couch :)

Studio City Chic
We are a family of 3 adults and 3 children 8,10, and 12 and had plenty of room in this property. The 2nd bedroom had bunks with full size mattresses which was nice. It was located on a quaint side street, close to Universal and WB. Location is a big plus. We had plenty of hot water. Rooftop deck with table for six was nice at night. Kitchen was moderately stocked. If you are planning on cooking a lot, come prepared. Check in required a call to the owner to explain parking garage. Not a big deal, but something to know ahead of time. Garage parking was great, especially in this area. If you have a problem with stairs, know there are 3 flights of stairs to access the entire property.

Great location and nice property
The property was clean and well maintained. There were lots of fresh linens and towels. It was within walking distance to shops & nice restaurants. It was also an ideal location to get to the highway quickly and not long drive times to beaches and other places tourists might like to visit. We all had a great time staying at your place. Thank you.

Two Thumbs up
Great place nice neighborhood and atmosphere. Very clean and spacious. The place isn’t too far from most attractions. Speedy responses and communication with the home owners. Would stay here again.
2.0
We enjoyed the place very much. It slept our group of 10 very comfortably. The owners were very nice and very accommodating. Great communication also. The location was good with many conveniences within walking distance. Although our large van wouldn’t fit in the garage space we easily found street parking. Also, on Sunday the Studio City Farmers market is right down the street. Condo was well equipped with linens, blankets and towels. Kitchen basics, paper towels, tinfoil, garbage bags etc..were missing so I just recommend checking with owner prior to make sure whether or not these items will be stocked upon arrival. I would highly recommend this rental and would love to stay again.

Absolutely loved staying here. 5 min. drive to Universal Studios which we visited for 2 days. The apartment was clean with a modern feel. We loved having breakfast upstairs on the roof patio. Our party had 4 adults and 3 kids, plenty of space. Everyone had a fantastic time.

Unit was freshly cleaned when we arrived and the private parking garage was a huge bonus. There was plenty of room for the 6 people in our part to sit, sleep, and eat. We had an injured member of our party so we spent more time in the condo than we expected but it was relaxing and comfortable. We cooked meals there, walked to some awesome restaurants down the street, and took Lyft to some places too. Everything is so easy to get to. Trader Joe's is literally a 3 minute walk if you need groceries. If you want to eat out, there's everything from Japanese to American Fusion down the street. We also took a Lyft to Universal Studios and it was less than $10 as 10 minutes. I will definitely book again if we are ever in the area.

This home was clean with a nice view from the roof deck. The owners were available quickly for any questions. They were flexible with the check in time being later than two. It was close to Ventura Blvd. which had many shops and restaurants. It's a very nice place to stay.

What a great condo and exceptional owners! We took a family of 5 and had plenty of room. Walking distance to restaurants, Trader Joe's and CVS. Took us 10 min to get to Universal and you never have to get on the freeway. We were a little concerned the first night with the rooftop deck door not locking. The neighborhood is very nice and we felt safe so it wasn't a big deal. Nice parking garage with two spaces, which was great for our SUV. Rada made sure we had everything we needed and that was much appreciated. I would definitely stay here again if we are ever back in this area!

My wife and I have stayed here 3 times now, each time we discover more about the location. One of the best parts about this property really is the location, you're close to everything and even on those evenings when you're tired of being at the theme parks all day it seems like everyone will deliver to you. The house is great to relax in and the bunk beds are great for kids. The true reason I write this review is not just about the location or the house but to tell you that Ed and Rada will truly take care of you. We've had great experiences with them each time and if you ever need anything they're just phone call away. Ed and Rada thank you for everything, especially the last minute accommodation you did this last time for my wife before we traveled home. Thank you

Perfect stay for our family! We took our son and his friend to Universal Studios, etc. for spring break. The house was beautiful, clean, and spacious. The owners were extremely accommodating and everything was easy. The kitchen was well equipped. There was so much space to sprawl and plenty of privacy. The garage was secure and easy to access. As my husband phrased it, "Wow! I can't believe it! You've found another winner!."
My best tip is that if you are staying here to go to Universal Studios - take Uber (or similar). It cost the four of us $5.40 total each way, we waited less than 5 minutes to be picked up (both coming and going), and we were dropped off right where we wanted to be. Cheaper, faster, and easier than driving and parking ourselves. Thanks to my teenage son for that idea.
Thank you again for all of your prompt replies and help. You were so friendly and helpful. We would happily stay here again if we are in the area!

This place was fantastic for our family's vacation to Los Angeles and Universal Studios. It seems like we were at Universal Studios in 5
minutes with no traffic since we were able to avoid the highway. This place is right off Ventura Blvd so it is easy to go anywhere. I appreciated the secure, covered parking. Within a mile or so of the house on Ventura Blvd was a Ralph's grocery store that was great for picking up groceries and other items. When we come back to do this vacation again, we will definitely try to stay here again. Thank you for letting us stay at your great home!

My family and I stayed here during our spring break. I have five children so it was much easier for us to manage than a hotel room. It's very close to Universal Studios and a Trader Joes, so it was perfect for us. The owners are very friendly and the place is nice.
5.0
Our family of 6 had plenty of space to sleep and stay. We walked to Trader Joes and coffee several times. Very happy with everything. Highly recommend!
2.5
We loved our stay. DO Not Pass up this spot! The property was in a great neighborhood, just a block off Ventura. There were tons of restaurants(Sushi, Mexican, BBQ, Japanese), cafes and a Trader Joes within a 5-7 min walk at most. The Farmers Market on Sunday was fun, and close. Truly a 5 min drive to Universal, maybe 10 if you hit a light. The house was HUGE! We had 4 adults and 4 kids (5-13) and we were very comfortable. If needed, we could have blown up a queen air mattress in the Master room and still have room to spare! The 3rd floor rooftop patio was beautiful. The girls did their yoga up there every morning. The 2 parking spaces were wonderful to have, and enough space- we had a mini van and a Medium SUV and they fit no problem.
