The cottage was perfect for my needs--private, separate from the main house, quiet, clean, and in Burbank, which is where my daughter lives. I was surprised at how well the kitchen was stocked in terms of equipment, and Judy and Karina kindly had a bag of coffee waiting for me. It was cold while I was there, but the heaters in each room kept the cottage warm. Parking on the street was no problem at all (which is not always true in other areas of L.A.). The neighborhood is very quiet, but it's a short drive to restaurants and grocery stores. I'll definitely be staying here on future trips.
