Enjoy luxury bedding, spa sundries, 55 flat screen, full kitchen, and laundry. Experience five diamond standards with at home comfort, privacy and security. There's laundry in the unit!

Relaxation and comfort will comeeasy during your stay with us in this top-floor apartment. Your experience includes queen-size luxury bedding, unlimited hot showers, free wifi and digital 55 widescreen with Netflix and Amazon.

Guest Access

Ample unrestricted street parking is available, no permits or pesky meter feeding required. Driveway parking is reserved for our permanent residents. Everything is digital, no keys to weigh you down during your time out and about. I set a new code for each guest which assures total privacy and security during your stay.

Interaction with Guests

Depending upon the time of year, self check-in is available or you may meet and greet with your host, sharing tips and information about the apartment and local area.

The Neighborhood

Overview

I love the Magnolia Park area of Burbank. This property sits next to the Chandler bike path and is walking distance from the downtown Burbank area. There's convenient food, markets and plenty of shopping nearby.

Getting Around

I always recommend rideshares such as Uber or Lyft, but public transportation is equally within reach.

Other Things to Note

I have been in the hospitality industry since 2005. I owned and operated two hotels and I have traveled extensively. My sensibilities are for the traveler and the amenities included in your stay meet my high standards for quality hotel accommodations. In addition, the Urban Retreat offers the fastest and most reliable internet available in the city.

House Rules

I cater to the nonsmoker without pets. Smoking is not permitted inside the apartment nor on the property. Our other tenants dislike the aroma. We love small non-human friends, but unfortunately they are not allowed at the property. We observe quiet time from 10pm to 8am and kindly request that you do the same by turning down your music or television during these times. This is a 2nd-story apartment with stairs. Not suitable for persons who require an elevator.

    TLDR: Great, quiet location with an accurate listing; would definitely stay again after a fantastic experience.Had a wonderful stay at this property! The online description was spot-on, so what you see is truly what you get. The location is excellent—nestled in a very quiet and peaceful neighborhood.A couple of friendly notes for future guests: If you have a car and aren't accustomed to LA parking, make sure to read the signs carefully. The rules are clear, but you'll want to be mindful to avoid any issues. The hot water in the shower can be a little finicky, but the host provides clear instructions; just follow their notes, and you'll get it to a comfortable temperature.For anyone who enjoys being active, the Chandler Bikeway is a fantastic path for running, walking, or biking and it’s conveniently just a couple of blocks away. Also, a huge recommendation for foodies: there is an amazing shawarma place called Stop4Shawarma attached to a gas station nearby (I mean, they had me at gas station...). With nearly perfect reviews online, it absolutely lives up to the hype and is a must-try.All in all, it was a great experience, and we would happily book this rental again on a future trip!

    This was my second time staying at Christopher and Gloria's property, and everything was great! I really like this location because it's centrally located for getting to different areas of L.A. Communication with the hosts was excellent, there were no surprises, and the bed is super comfy. Thank you!

    The property was exactly as shown in pictures. It was great to have a bigger refrigerator to hold groceries. Very accessible to highways for work my work meetings. Owners were very accommodating and quick to respond to my questions.

    everything about this place was LOVELY! i would stay here again in a heartbeat. the owners were super easy to contact when i couldn’t figure out how to open the door, there was complimentary champagne waiting for us, silverware, linens, toiletries! and there was a great little packet that had information about the property and about the surrounding area with food and activities! the only tiny problem was that the checkout time on the information packet was wrong, so we were rushed out early by the housekeeper. but everything else was perfect!
