Glendale vacation rentals

Beautiful yard and home with so many places to relax and enjoy your family time & the LA hills. Thank you for a wonderful graduation weekend for our family!

My family spent two weeks in this lovely home. It was our first real West Coast trip as a family, and the house was a great base for it. Best surprise in the backyard: a lemon tree that dropped 3-4 lemons a day. Small thing, but we don't get weather for anything like that where we live, so it turned into everyone's favorite part of the place. The other thing that got us was how walkable it is. We'd walk to Jack in the Box, Villa's Tacos, and a bunch of other spots, and in a city this famous for traffic there were whole days we never touched the car. The street is quiet and easy to settle into. A couple of cats and dogs across the way kept the kids busy, and the neighbors on one side were friendly without crowding us. The host was excellent too, usually replying within seconds and friendly every time we reached out. If I'm being picky, parking was difficult for a large SUV and street parking filled up fast, but none of that got in the way. Great for anyone who wants central but calm.

This place is a gem! I almost hate to let the secret out. Therese and Jose have designed a lovely, warm home, tastefully furnished, including a gas fireplace in the living room and a lot of well-loved art and collectibles. The bed was terrific, there was plenty of closet and drawer space and a full-sized washer and dryer. But the real "gems" of the place are Therese and Jose. They are warm and friendly, even though we only met via text, and incredibly responsive. Therese went so far as to make me short videos explaining how to get in, the fireplace, the location of utilities, etc. Well beyond the call of duty. They stocked the place very generously, with plenty of paper goods, breakfast foods and snacks. A bottle of wine awaited as well. The other unique and remarkable feature was the outdoor space: four different areas including a large patio with picnic table and chairs in front and a fabulous covered "boho" outdoor living room complete with lighting, drapes and a bluetooth speaker. In this time of social distancing, it made our visit easier and memorable. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this house and would be happy to stay there again.
