Look, I would really like to tell you how awful this was so I could keep the place to myself, but frankly, this was a gem. An absolute gem.
First off - the location. 2 minutes from Universal Studios City Walk and easy freeway access just down the street (not to mention an In and Out very close by) made this a great place to stay.
Second - the "Cottage". I am going to call it a cottage, which ISN'T a knock on it at all. It is an older building, but it has so much charm. Don't expect an apartment - that isn't what this is and isn't what is advertised. It is a wonderful, old cottage (or bungalow) that has been modernized and made very comfortable. It is a step back in time but it has a comfortable warmth to it. As I sat in the cabin I found myself saying "... if I got rid of everything I could live here. Downsize, go Spartan.... it would be worth it."
Lastly - the Hosts. David and Valena were amazing. I had perfect instructions on how to get there, on how to get in, there was information about the area on the desk as you entered - they were wonderful hosts.
This is a great little cabin tucked away in the busiest of cities. Trust me. Stay. Just don't book it when I come down again.
