My stay at Kat’s studio cottage was delightful. The neighborhood –almost like an alpine village– was a serene retreat from busy downtown LA. The area has a quiet, friendly, and quirky character. It’s located on the foothills of the San Gabriel mountain range, with small winding streets, beautifully decorated houses, and gorgeous views. The studio itself is small but pleasant, and the bed was very comfortable. I spent most of my time there reading or eating on the patio or relaxing in the hot tub. Kat was an excellent host and got back to me right away with answers to my questions–when I asked about coffee before I arrived she made sure there was coffee and half and half in the fridge. There is a nice restaurant called Mary’s Market a two minute walk from the cottage that serves great breakfasts. I would definitely stay again at this great location.
