James was an excellent host. Upon arrival we were graciously greeted by James and his lovely dog who walked us to his backyard cottage. We appreciated the clean and peaceful atmosphere of his cottage and garden, it was truly a relaxing and rejuvenating experience. The unit was even better than the pictures and James was really helpful in sharing what to do around the area. The unit was perfectly equipped with essentials such as a mini fridge, coffee/coffee maker, small dishes, towels, bathroom supplies, etc. We were treated very respectfully and appreciate James's hospitality. Although the cottage was a short commute to the beach, it was close enough to still enjoy a full day on Abbot Kinney and Venice. James suggested a few activities and restaurants which helped us plan our short stay.
