My husband and I stayed for a couple of nights, and it was great. The space is fine — clean and uncluttered. Plus, there’s a really nice courtyard where they had big dining table, fire pit, and couch and umbrellas. Nice garden too. Unfortunately, it did rain in Southern California so we didn’t spend much time out there.
The neighborhood is 100% walkable. We took the light rail to the beach and back. We probably would have done a bit more walking except for the rain.
We did walk to Birdie G’s - a restaurant recommended by Jason — and it was fantastic! The best meal we had in ages.
Also had bagels at the NY Bagel spot on Wiltshire that they recommended.
We felt secure, check in was easy, and the cottage had a lot of windows. We’ll likely go back.
