Family-friendly vacation rentals in Universal City, Los Angeles

I had an amazing experience here. The photos and description match the place perfectly and it was so peaceful and happy. I felt like I was in my own little peaceful orbit. Thank you so much Ethan. I highly appreciate and recommend this spot.

Great place. Plenty of room for our family if 8. Loved the little extras ( snacks, laundry detergent, paper towels). Not far from all the tourist attractions. Community was very quiet.

We had a lovely stay at Peter's place. Ideal for both exploring and working in Los Angeles.

Logan was such a great host. He was very warm and welcoming and was quick to respond whenever we had any questions. The backyard is even nicer in person and we enjoyed this spending time with family out there. Would definitely recommend you stay here next time you’re in the area.

Hallgrim was a very gracious host. We were moving from another Airbnb & needed a place to stow our refrigerated food for 3 hours. He easily accommodated that & ultimately said we could just check in early. One caveat - be sure you understand the street parking protocol. It works but it can be tight, especially late at night. We always found a spot but you will need good parallel parking skills. The house is personal & eclectic & you will feel like you are staying at a good friend’s house. This is not the usual “just the basics” corporate Airbnb. It is a home. My daughter & I felt very comfortable staying here & would definitely book it again. The Canyon has a unique history. In addition to looking thru the beautiful coffee table book Hallgrim has left out for his guests to enjoy, you must watch Echo in the Canyon for an extended stroll through the musical history of this unique canyon. You’ll be singing Mamas and Papas songs on your way down to Lilly’s Cafe in no time!

Me & my family absolutely loved staying at this beautiful home. My first time ever getting an Airbnb & so happy we did. The house all together is so beautiful inside & out. The pool & jacuzzi were amazing. Such relaxing scenery. Unfortunately didn’t get to use the fire pit outside, but I bet it’s cozy. It was truly beautiful. If I’m ever in need of an Airbnb again in this area, I will definitely be reaching out to Jorgen again. Jorgen was a wonderful host to work with. Very nice, respectful & responsive. My son-in-law actually forgot his sunglasses after we checked out & he even took the time to make sure we got them back. Super super happy with our experience there. You won’t be disappointed.

Ari’s place is fantastic. I sat out in the patio every morning listening to birds and having coffee. Nice quiet cul de sac. House was exactly as photos represented. Amenities and kitchen and bathrooms were resort level. Great place and I’ll be back! Thanks Ari.

Beautifully landscaped mountain house with rustic charm and an abundance of views and moments. Lynne is also very communicative and attentive. Dog friendly. Overall a delightful stay!

I loved my stay here at Mary’s place, and especially enjoyed spending time on the deck enjoying the sunset. Mary was a kind and courteous host and her space is private, comfortable and has everything you need to cook if desired. My only con is that you can hear the upstairs neighbor walking around quite loudly, and sometimes very late at night. Bring ear plugs if you’re a light sleeper. Otherwise, a perfect location to relax and explore the city, especially close to Atwater Village, Los Feliz, Highland Park and Echo Park.

Tamryn's place exceeded my expectations in every way. The pictures were accurate, and yet somehow did not do justice to just how special the apartment or its surroundings are! There were many thoughtful touches throughout: there was ground coffee, half and half, Greek yogurt and granola available in the fridge for breakfast, hand lotion and sunscreen available in the bathroom, and it seemed that the linens had been washed in scentless detergent, which I really appreciate because I'm super sensitive to soaps and scents. The apartment itself was surprisingly spacious, with a full-size bathroom and cute kitchenette and dining table overlooking their gardens. It was perfect for a weekend stay and I found myself wishing I could stay even longer. Many thanks to Tamryn and her family for the comfortable and well-appointed guest suite!

The host was incredibly welcoming and attentive, making me feel comfortable and at ease! The charming decor and abundant natural light created a cozy atmosphere. The well-equipped kitchen made meal preparation easy, and the inviting living area was perfect for relaxation. The location was excellent, with many attractions and restaurants nearby. I highly recommend this Airbnb and look forward to returning.

I had a wonderfully enjoyable experience that truly surpassed my expectations! The host was incredibly welcoming and attentive, making me feel right at home. The charming decor and ample natural light created a cozy ambiance that I greatly appreciated. The kitchen was well-equipped, making meal preparation super easy, and the inviting living area was perfect for relaxation. Enjoying coffee on the sunny patio was definitely one of the highlights! The location was excellent, with plenty of attractions and restaurants nearby. I wholeheartedly recommend this Airbnb and can't wait to visit again!

I had a wonderful stay peaceful, comfortable, and even better than expected. The space was just as described, if not more charming in person. The host was incredibly responsive and friendly, making everything smooth and stress-free. Highly recommend!

We booked Kassie’s house for our family trip to Universal Studios. The house is beautiful and well equipped. It was so nice to come home from a long day at the park and be able to cook a meal and relax. We had 2 adults and 3 children and we never felt like we were on top of each other. There was plenty of space to spread out. The neighborhood is quiet with lots of shops and restaurants close by. We didn’t need to communicate with Kassie while there, as we had everything we needed, but the communication we did receive was thorough and polite. Would highly recommend this house and host!

Patricia was a very accommodating host. We needed to extend our stay several times while we waited for an apartment to open after the Altadena fire. The house is spacious, has a nice and friendly character, and is on a lovely street--Orange Grove. Very nice backyard. Friendly to pets. Great for kids. The shower is a little funky, but we made it work. I highly recommend Patricia as a host.

Really enjoyed my stay at this cabin it was so peaceful! This place exceeded the photos and was more spacious than expected with room to relax, cook or write. Thoughtful amenities were provided. A short drive from the town center and walking distance from hikes made a great balance between a secluded feeling and convenience. Gordon & family were friendly and helpful! Will recommend & be back.

Clara and David’s home was everything I thought it would be and more! Loved the privacy and the neighborhood was beautiful with lots of stores, bars, and restaurants nearby. I highly recommend the space to anyone visiting LA!

Best thing about this place is the location and outdoor deck/patio space with awesome view. Quiet lovely street but near lots of action of Silver Lake. The apartment itself is very nice as well.

Such a lovely cottage with beautiful landscaping. Easy to get in and out. Quiet. Michael was a great host and welcomed us when we arrived. The welcome sign was a special touch!

Place was an amazing stay. The area was nice and quiet. Entrance to the place was very easy and the place has a pool and outdoor patio with a fire pit which was amazing! Beds and sheets were very comfortable and soft with an AC available. The room has a complimentary coffee station which was amazing!!! The place was clean and aesthetic! Highly suggest this place!

Absolutely loved our stay in this Burbank gem! The house was exactly as described—cozy, comfortable, and spotlessly clean. The private pool was a highlight, providing a perfect escape to relax. The location is fantastic, making it easy to explore the area. The well-stocked kitchen and comfortable beds created a delightful stay. Having lived in Burbank 11 years ago, it was wonderful to return to such a familiar and welcoming place. Highly recommend this Airbnb to anyone considering a visit—it's a true home away from home!

We want to say a huge thank you to these unbelievable hosts. Their house is incredible, they were very fast to respond to all inquiries, we desperately needed a crib and they came over to put one together for us. These are really amazing hosts with beautiful home. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone looking for an Airbnb in LA! Thank you again!

First off I want to say the pictures don’t do the back yard any justice. It’s so beautiful and the perfect get away trip without having to break the bank. Definitely worth every penny We loved it and we will be returning again! P.s. Just make sure you bring some bug spray there is a bunch of mosquitos in the back yard, we didn’t have any so don’t be us lol. 🙌

Gary was really responsive and so helpful. The place is beautiful as well! Couldnt recommend this place enough!
