Description Muchos Amigos: Los Angeles

Nearby Studio City & Universal Studios, this estate is a nice choice for large families or group get-togethers who want to get out and explore some of LA's hot tourist spots. You'll be in northern Topanga, within easy access to the 101 freeway so you can skirt around town in a jiffy. This home certainly won't win any prizes on the character front as it lacks a consistent design aesthetic, but it's huge and comfortably sleeps 14 – so perhaps it'll be just the ticket for your large group.

Home truths:
* There are some scuffs on the walls and signs of general wear & tear

* The generic artwork leaves us wanting much more

* The mattresses are quite stiff

* For such a large estate, the furniture and decor feel a little cheap

* Your host will charge a $150 pet fee
