The house was in great condition in a quiet neighborhood within walking distance to many places. The backyard and pool area is like a resort and we used it every day.

Shawn is a great host and his house was wonderful for our family visit. Plenty of space, towels, supplies, etc for our family of six plus family pet. Great pool. Grandkids were in it everyday. Shawn checked with us periodically to make sure all was good. Would definitely stay again when we visit.
We required short notice Accomadation and Shaun provided it we were so great ful and the place was amazing. Wish there were more people like this in the world Thanks Shawn
I loved the house, very clean and with everything you need to spend a few super nice days, very spacious and with lots of light, the perfect pool, my grandchildren enjoyed it a lot
The stay at this home was nothing short of amazing! Upon entering the house the first thing I noticed was the home was extremely well maintained and looks just like the pictures. Shawn was very responsive and attentive to any needs or concerns that we had. This place is a gem!
Shawn’s place was very easy to access, clean. The pool was my family’s favorite part. We spent hours in the pool.
We really enjoyed the home! Matched the description. Peaceful, fun place to stay with children. Central to many LA landmarks.
The accommodations were great. Overall, we enjoyed our stay. The home was cozy and comfortable. The pool and backyard area were the best! The only downside is that the surrounding neighborhoods and commercial areas are declining. This is definitely not the hosts fault. Overall, it was a great stay. Reply to Tyler
Shawn was very responsive and helpful with my questions and check in process. It was a very pleasant stay and spacious for my family to stay together. I will definitely recommend and will rebook when I’m back in LA!
Great stay. Convenient location for sightseeing. Lovely pool area for relaxing in the sun.
We stayed here for a few days during the 4th holiday. We were 4 adults and 3 kids, and there was so much room. The house was very easy to find and close to many restaurants and stores. The pool was an added bonus and a lot of fun for the kids. The house was very well equipped with many items, we will absolutely stay here again !
It is a home far from home, it is in a good area of the LA area and nice to spend in summer with the family.
Just as described very convenient location. Was in a safe neighborhood has all the amenities we needed. Definitely coming back the host very nice and responsive.
We were visiting with family and it worked out perfectly. We loved the pool and had lots of fun. It was also peaceful, quiet and lots of birds around which we loved. The place had all of the amenities in the kitchen (coffee!!) and the bathrooms so was very convenient. Make sure to use WiFi as cell service is not great. The only extra thing that would have made it above and beyond is if there were additional pool floaties or noodles. But not a necessity :) Overall, we had a great time.
Shawn has an amazing property in the Encino area, i highly recommend the property as there's all kind of restaurants around Mediterranean, European,South American.... Also lots of gyms nearby too and beaches quick 30 minutes away
We had a great stay! Shawn is very responsive and communicative. The home is very cute and it's in a great location with stores nearby. It's clear that Shawn cares about the property and puts in a lot of effort to make sure people have a nice stay. We would visit again.
Had an amazing stay here for the weekend while we explored LA. Great location and an amazing house very clean and a lot of beautiful decor could tell that they put work into this place. Pool outside is nice and there is even an option for it to be heated upon request. Overall an amazing time here felt like home.
Shawn was so welcoming and made our stay so wonderful and easy, he provided lots of goodies for us such as chips/ snacks a filled water jug in fridge and lots of utensils cups etc. The house was beautiful and was so clean. Thank you Shawn!
Was a great space for our family of 14. The pool was the highlight since we spent most of our time outside! The guesthouse was a super helpful space, especially for the younger ones to hang out and sleep and the open floor plan was nice for us all to gather and be together. Plenty of food options for pick up and delivery as well! Although not much to do in the area, it’s not far from LA and attractions. Overall, we had a wonderful stay!
I have to say Shawn was one of the best host I have ever dealt with. He was so friendly he responded on time. I didn’t feel like I was being watched or violated. I mean, if I could give Shawn 10 stars I would. He really made us feel so comfortable and at home. The house so beautiful and really clean!!!! Thank you Shawn for really making mine and my friends stay at your property the best experience so far!!!!
This was a great house for a family vacation. We were in town visiting family and it was a perfect home-base for us and our kids. We spent plenty of time by the pool. Our kids loved swimming. And there was room for everyone to have their space. Plus there is great coffee, Trader Joe’s, restaurants nearby. Shawn even got the place ready early in case we needed it (which is rare for airbnbs). He was very communicative and ready to help if needed.
Thank you so much for a very nice house.. lots of fond memories weve created there.. til a book again :) Thank u somuch
We stayed at Shawn’s for a few days so that we could visit universal studios and the kids wanted to swim. They had a great time in the pool. The area is very quiet and was near many restaurants and stores. I walked to target and CVS. The home was clean and comfortable and only about a 20-30 min drive to Universal. We would definitely stay here again!
Beautiful home, and the backyard is an absolute oasis. To boot it’s in an absolute great location, and the host will provide great recommendations that will make your trip easy and peaceful.
Best place to stay in LA. Creative space super thought out furniture overall amazing stay
It was the perfect place for my family traveling from out of town to celebrate a monumental event in our family, a graduation. It the perfect size and space to accommodate all comfortably and peacefully.
Enjoyed such a love stay at Shawn's beautiful property. Easy to communicate with and gorgeous home. Would love to stay again when in town :)
Had all the amenities that I was looking for, good size rooms with a pool and easy parking. My stay was fantastic!!
Shawn, as the host, and the house fully met our expectations. We had absolutely no problems during our 5 night stay. Shawn was extremely responsive to our inquiries and provided us with great guidance. The pool area is very nice and the pool service people were very polite and helpful. I truly recommend Shawn as a host and this house because it truly is a find.
Shawn's place in Encino was just want my family needed for our trip! The space is just as pictured. It was clean and spacious for all 7 of us. Location was great, easy to get around anywhere in the valley and close to major freeways. The host was very responsive when we had any issues and was able to fix it promptly. I highly recommend this beautiful home to anyone visiting LA/ the Valley!
