We really came to love this cottage during our weeklong stay here. I freaked out a little bit when I saw there's no air conditioning, but after the first night and day I realized it's not necessary. We left the windows open all day and night, and it was super comfortable. I liked the security of a parking space in the onsite garage, and the keypad secured front gate. The landscaping is gorgeous, we ate every meal outside in the yard. Her kitchen is really well equipped, there was nothing that we needed and we cooked a meal every day. Beds were good, and the shared bath is convenient. It was also nice to have access to a washer and dryer. It's relatively close to the main part of Venice beach, but we rented bikes to make it the daily back and forth even quicker. Make sure you go to Zelda's for mini donuts in the morning, or sandwiches at lunch. Great place. Also, there's a Ralphs grocery and Rite Aid just down at the end of the block. We'd definitely recommend this space to any travelers who enjoy getting to know a neighborhood. We'll be back someday...
