Great place, even better hosts :)

Spent two weeks here and would've stayed longer if I could.
It's ten or fifteen minute's walk to Venice beach or Abbott Kinney, less than that to Wholefoods supermarket and some great restaurants from vegan to southern bbq, as well as having a couple of cool bars, a Mexican restaurant, a laundromat, and a corner store just down the road.
Despite the location, the cottage is really tranquil. Peaceful and quiet at night (except for the earthquake!) and sunny during the day.

The place itself is great, but the best thing about it was Tony and Claudia.
They don't do room service though, and there were no bathrobes, so be warned!
