Hidden Gem! 2BR Guest House Near LA, Glendale & Universal
Panoramic views of Glendale from this tranquil hillside guest house located in historic Rossmoyne Hills. Enjoy the 1,250 sq feet of living space, or sneak outside in the early morning to catch a glimpse of the family of deer and local hikers accompanied by the soundtrack of singing birds. It’s a 5 to 20 minute drive to Hollywood, the LA Arts District, Universal Studios, downtown LA & high end shopping at The Glendale Galleria, or the family friendly Americana.
This guest house is connected to the host’s main house and located downstairs with your own separate and private entrance. A large foyer with mini library and day lounger (converts to twin bed) greets you as you first step inside, leading you into the living room with adjoining breakfast nook facing the main windows. The kitchen is full sized with electric four burner stove top oven, a full sized refrigerator, dual sinks, all the kitchen utensils and kitchenware that you'll need, and plenty of counter space. The spacious main bedroom features a large bathroom suite complete with its own powder room. The second bedroom has its own walk-in closet and private lavatory.
PLEASE NOTE: We welcome you to our guest house and hope you'll feel at home here. While our house cleaning service strives for hotel levels of cleaning and disinfecting, we are a private family home and cannot provide all the services of a hotel.
Entrance to apartment is through your own dedicated garage door (also suitable for parking several motorcycles securely). Must climb up a short internal staircase. Guests have a dedicated driveway parking space. If additional parking is needed, there is ample street parking a few meters away. For guests on longer stays or travel schedules, complimentary laundry facilities are in the adjoining room (please ask host for access code).
Important to note:
- Please note that the 2nd bedroom is located downstairs adjacent to our home gym. On certain mornings, you may hear light thumping. Most guests don't even notice it, but light sleepers should avoid the 2nd bedroom.
- The space can sleep a maximum of 6 people, though We do not recommend more than 5 adults for ideal sleeping conditions. This means that each bedroom sleeps 2 adults comfortably. We have added a day lounger that converts to a twin bed in the library/foyer which can sleep up to 2 CHILDREN (or 1 adult).
Some of the unlisted perks that past guests have said that they've appreciated:
- We provide complimentary breakfast pastries. Usually for the first morning, but sometimes more depending on the length of the stay.
- Our fully stocked kitchen which enables many guests to prepare and cook a full dinner from scratch for family and friends.
- Guests with children have commented how much they appreciate the box of toys we've left for their enjoyment.
- Guests have access to 2 adult recreational bicycles, and 2 child bicycles, helmets, trunk mounted bicycle carrier, and a lock. *Guests assume liability of injuries as a result of bicycling activities.
- Always fresh mini packs of soap. Always fresh mini packs of jam Always fresh mini packs of coffee creamers. Always fresh ground coffee for the coffee pot.
- Please contact host prior to your arrival if you need additional bedding beyond the 2 beds in the bedroom and the twin bed in the library.
- We strive to make your stay perfect. We try to go above and beyond the typical to ensure this.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by David
Hi, I’m David — and since 2016, my family and I have had the pleasure of hosting guests at our home. We live just upstairs from the rental, so while we aim to give our guests privacy and space, we're always just one floor away if you need anything. If you take a look through our reviews, you'll see that we try to respond quickly and are always happy to help.
During the day, my wife Taji works from home with our friendly German Shepherd, Izzy, by her side. Our son attends the Lycée International French School and spends much of his free time training in various Mixed Martial Arts, including Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, which he also competes in. You might occasionally hear him practicing piano — hopefully it adds a touch of charm to your stay!
We consider ourselves hands-off hosts, but we're always happy to chat if you’re in the mood for conversation. Over the years, we’ve had the honor of welcoming guests from all across the U.S. and around the world. Meeting people from different cultures is one of the things we enjoy most about hosting.
Languages are a big part of our home — we speak French (my wife and son), Beginning Spanish (both my wife and I), some Mandarin and Fuchian Chinese, and a bit of German. So if English isn’t your first language, feel free to connect with us however you're most comfortable.
We look forward to hosting you and helping make your stay as relaxing, comfortable, and enjoyable as possible.

Why they chose this property
We’ve called the Rossmoyne Hills section of Glendale home since 2016, after relocating from the West Side of Los Angeles. One of the biggest reasons we chose Glendale is its reputation for safety — in fact, it was recently ranked as the 5th safest mid-sized city in the United States. That peace of mind, combined with the area's charm and convenience, made it an easy choice for our family.
Rossmoyne is one of Glendale’s most historic and desirable neighborhoods. It offers a rare balance — quiet, tree-lined streets with a peaceful, secluded feel, yet just minutes away from supermarkets, shops, and local conveniences.
Another reason we love this area is its central location. We're within easy driving distance of some of Los Angeles’ top attractions: Universal Studios, Griffith Park, Hollywood Boulevard, the Huntington Gardens, the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, and even Chinatown. Whether you’re here for sightseeing, nature, or city life, you’ll find it all nearby.
For nature lovers, Rossmoyne Hills is also a fantastic spot for hiking and outdoor exploration. The surrounding hills are home to local wildlife — including a family of deer that often visit our garden. If you're up early (and quiet!), you might spot them roaming through the bushes around the house.
We truly love living here — it feels like a peaceful retreat from the city, while still being just a stone’s throw from everything Los Angeles has to offer.

What makes this property unique
Our home has a story to tell. Built in 1957 by an Italian wood craftsman who moved to the area to help construct many of the grand estates nearby, the house was designed with care and character. In fact, our original kitchen — a beautiful piece of mid-century craftsmanship — was preserved and donated to an architectural historical society when we renovated.
Nestled in the Rossmoyne Hills, one of Glendale’s most sought-after neighborhoods, our property offers the best of both worlds: the peace and beauty of a rural retreat, with the convenience of the city just a few blocks away. Surrounded by nature and perched above the hustle and bustle, it’s not uncommon to spot local wildlife — deer, birds, and more — right from your window.
Just a short walk down the block brings you to the heart of historic Rossmoyne, where you’ll find a true sense of community. Kids still ride bikes, set up lemonade stands, and play outside — it’s a glimpse of a simpler time. Architecture lovers will enjoy the diverse and charming homes that line the streets, while car enthusiasts will appreciate the steady stream of exotic cars cruising by — Ferraris, Porsches, Lamborghinis, and more.
Our cozy guest house is your home away from home. Whether you're here to unwind, explore, or simply enjoy the surroundings, we hope you’ll feel the same sense of peace and charm that made us fall in love with this place.
