An Encino garden setting on a prestigious residential avenue, and an interior built for serious downtime. The cinema room handles film nights without compromise, the dedicated massage room means wellness stays on the agenda, and the home gym keeps fitness routines intact. A pool terrace takes care of warm California afternoons, while the main bedroom opens directly onto a balcony – a good way to ease into the day. When you do venture out, the dining and shopping of Valley Boulevard are close at hand.

Home truths
You'll need to get in touch with the property manager at least one day before you arrive to arrange check-in and confirm your flight details – check-in is completed at the home itself, so plan accordingly.
Encino is a car-dependent neighbourhood, so you'll want your own transport to make the most of the dining and shopping nearby. Parking is available on the premises.
This home is currently listed for sale, so there’s a rare chance your host might need to carry out viewings during your stay – advance notice would be given.
The swimming pool isn't fenced.

Local guide
About Encino
Infamous for its mention in Frank Zappa’s 1982 hit song “Valley Girl” lies the historic neighborhood of Encino – just to the north of Bel-Air and west of Sherman Oaks. Thought to be named after a 1000-year-old Oak tree, it is one of the oldest parts of the Valley. While quieter than other neighborhoods, it still boasts all the charm of LA. Shop and dine down the bustling area of Encino Commons or take a picnic to enjoy the California sun in Los Encinos State Park.
