The cottage is beautiful and coupled with the lovely pool makes for a quiet, peaceful stay. Lesley and Ned were great hosts pointing out the cool features of the cottage such as the movie screen, shades for ceiling lights and scented air freshener as well as arranging for parking. The furnishings are high quality from the bedding to the kitchen and bathroom. Their location is ideal, basically 45 minutes from Santa Monica beach or 30 minutes to the Dodgers or 10 minutes to Pasadena. The hosts are welcoming, friendly and interesting to talk to.
