Beautful building, well maintained. Love the old charm of the place, great decor. Nice linens and beds where very cozy. Place was very clean when we arrived. Owner was gracious and easy to work with. Helped us find great places to eat in the area. Close to Hollywood attractions and Universal Studios. Will stay there everytime we go back. If available.
Thanks You!!
Owner's Response: I am very happy you enjoyed the flat. You are welcome back anytime!

This place was absolutely gorgeous, with tons of space. Deanna, the owner was great and helped us out with anything we needed. It’s always nice when the owner lives downstairs. It’s located in a beautiful and quiet area. I have rented many times in L.A, and this was by far the best place in the nicest area. My wife and I couldn’t decide which room to take, since they were all so well appointed. The Jacuzzi and BBQ area is a great touch. We were out a lot, but always looked forward to returning home. Thank you Deanna for a wonderful experience! We will be sure to come back, and recommend to all our friends.

Absolutely Amazing!

Review Submitted: October 31, 2009 Date of Stay: October 2009
My stay in this beautiful flat was absolutely amazing! I, my boyfriend, and 2 friends stayed here and we were surprised at the large space and beautiful decor. We met the owner our first night in and she treated us like family.

We were minutes from all of the major LA attractions yet we felt like we were in our own little world. There is a lovely deck where we spent our mornings drinking coffee and evenings gazing at the gorgeous LA lights.

We will definitely be returning soon! I would stay here forever if I could! Thank you Deanna for your great attention to detail and for making our stay Absolutely Amazing!

Beautiful flat, but....

Review Submitted: October 26, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
We were a family of five, and chose this flat because of the lovely pictures, few good reviews and ideal location for our needs. The flat indeed is adorable and very spacious. Upon our late evening arrival, we were very surprised to find both bathrooms with no toilet paper and one with no towels, the kitchen had no kitchen towels nor dish washing soap. This is something that should not happen when one is charged a $150 cleaning fee. On our way to look for a supermarket to purchase those basics we met the owner, who brought up some of the missing things and purchased new towels the next morning. Three of the bedrooms are spacious and have big comfortable beds, the fourth is very small and has bunk beds which are (according to my teenagers) mostly uncomfortable (not shown in the pictures). The wireless internet was not working most nights and early mornings (which is when we had some free time for it). The owner has the router downstairs in her flat, so you can only get it reset if she is around. The driveway leading to the back parking was badly paved, a fact which resulted in me falling and hurting myself on the first evening. It was fixed a couple of days later as a result of this fall, as was the broken shower head in the kids bathroom and the missing electric socket cover in our bedroom. We were surprised that after everything that went wrong during our stay, we still had to write and ask for our deposit to be returned to us more than two weeks after our departure. It was promptly returned the next day, with a deduction of the cleaning fee, which in my humble opinion should have been adjusted in our case.

All of the above being said, this beautiful and spacious flat is well located in a quiet and safe neighbourhood. If you have something bigger than a compact car, you probably shouldnt try and take it down the driveway to the off street parking . And, if you get back after 8:00pm, be prepared to look for street parking more than a few houses away.
Owner's Response: I am very sorry your that your stay was less than perfect. With vacation rentals, it is near impossible to control everything. Sometimes the housekeepers and handyman miss things and I was not aware of this. I am happy that you mentioned how I rectified everything that was wrong, short of giving you a discount and replacing the matress (which you didn't mention while you were here). I appreciate your review which demonstrates how quickly I try to rectified your problems with my flat, but more importantly you state that the flat is GORGEOUS AND SPACIOUS.

Great Location

Review Submitted: September 24, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
The location of the flat is great! Central to all the major attractions. Comfortably accomodated my family of 8. 3 of the bedrooms had king beds which was perfect! First time I've used a vacation rental and now won't think about doing it any other way. The price was unbeatable for all the space! Thank you, Deanna, for helping to make our 2009 vacation in LA abosolutely perfect!
Owner's Response: I am so happy you enjoyed my lovely flat. Thank you the sweet review!

HOME AWAY FROM HOME

Bob Almario Philippines
Review Submitted: April 25, 2009 Date of Stay: April 2009
This is a delightful property we all had the most amazing time here! There was nothing missing and all of our expectations were surpassed. It was a trip that we will never forget and we are so happy we were able to spend that time together in this beautiful Normandie home. We had plenty of room for cooking, dining together at the really beautiful dining-room or just relaxing in the cozy-clean living room. All the rooms were spacious and parking was never a problem. The neighborhood is nice and quiet, but you will have all the L.A. attractions 5 minutes away only. A special thanks to the owners of the place Deanne. “IT’S DEFINITELY HOME AWAY FROM HOME”

We will definitely recommend your place to our friends.

Thanks,

Bob

Was really surprised by just how lovely this apartment is. Conveniently located and beautifully decorated. Very liveable apartment. I was really delighted with this apartment and it was the perfect end to our trip. There were 7 of us staying there and we did not feel cramped at all. Very spacious.

Review Submitted: November 16, 2008 Date of Stay: October 2008
I rented this property for my parents and two brothers with partners and babies when they came over from The Netherlands to attend my wedding. They were delighted with the place and said it felt like a home. Very spacious, big kitchen, dining room, living room, bathrooms. Great experience and this way they could all be together and not have to spend time in hotels which they do not like and I can imagine with kids is not ideal. Thanks Deanna!
