Where to stay in San Fernando Valley

I hadn't taken this tour in 30 years. There's lots more cool stuff in Universal Studios but some of they old stuff is still some of the best. The run down Bates Motel still looks legit and the Psycho area of the House of Horrors is still one of the scariest parts.

Toluca Lake

Visitors to Toluca Lake enjoy its restaurants, and if you want to do some exploring, OC Skin Secrets Day Spa is worth a stop.
