Where to stay in San Fernando Valley

I hadn't taken this tour in 30 years. There's lots more cool stuff in Universal Studios but some of they old stuff is still some of the best. The run down Bates Motel still looks legit and the Psycho area of the House of Horrors is still one of the scariest parts.

Toluca Lake

Nestled in the San Fernando Valley, this Los Angeles neighborhood boasts a private 6-acre natural lake surrounded by residences and the Lakeside Golf Club. Enjoy the serene atmosphere and picturesque views.

Super clean rooms super clean house. We were independent and given access to very clean common living areas. Wonderful communication always by the hosts. Street parking gets crowded but nothing that was unmanageable. Loved the place and would stay over and over again.
