This cottage is exquisite. We had high expectations heading into our stay from the previous reviews and the pictures. Mark and Barbara pretty much outdid every one of them. Quaint, quiet, colorful, comfy and cozy. We were greeted by Simon and Callie, then Mark, and then a pair of hummingbirds. Spectacular! The gardens are lovely, the rooms are super clean, the bedding is luxurious. Seriously soft linens! Mark shared great recommendations for nearby restaurants - we circled back two mornings in a row for brunch at Bolt. I’m sure there are plenty of lovely places to stay in LA; we’ve stayed in several and have been satisfied. But Mark and Barbara (and dogs and hummingbirds) have won us over and we’ll look no further.
