Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
Our neighborhood is quiet yet just two blocks away from major shopping and streets. Studio City is like a village and all the buildings are only two stories high. You can walk to dining and shopping and local attractions are close by including Hollywood, Universal Studios, Warner Bros, Burbank, where many TV shows are taped. We are also close to CBS Studios where "Seinfeld" was filmed. Buy farm fresh produce at the farmers market every Sunday just 1.5 miles away with pony rides and kids activities. We are adjacent to Beverly Hills and the famous "Mulholland Drive" is just up the street from us. The library and a children's park are less than one mile away. The Hollywood Bowl is also very close. We are within one mile of a golf course, and two miles from hiking trails in the famous "Hollywood Hills." There are many health clubs in the neighborhood and the LA River is in front of our house with a walking trail, ducks and herons. 45 minutes to Disneyland. and We are two miles from LA's longest painted mural.

Our home exchange - here are our Preferences and House Rules
We will treat your home with love and want you to do the same to our home. We do not permit smoking or loud parties. We have loved trading homes before in Amsterdam and Quebec City Canada. In the past, we have had our exchange partners stay with us for a day before we leave for their house. That way we can personally show them around and show them the locks, car details, bbq, spa instructions, etc..Our solar heated pool is not fenced so guests with children must be aware at all times.
