Our stay at Elizabeth's cottage was great. We met when we arrived and she settled us in with a number of goodies (coffee, cookies, juice, etc) which made us feel right at home immediately. The cottage itself is spacious, comfortable, airy and bright. It had everything we needed. We enjoyed our patio and the privacy of our own little garden tucked away behind the moveable gate. The large walk-in closet which has a window did double duty as an office for my husband which was great as it meant I could be in the living (sleeping) area undisturbed by his clacking away on the computer late into the night. We texted a few times and Elizabeth shared some great ideas with us for birdwatching, for example, and restaurants as she provides a good list and map in the cottage. We enjoy the Mar Vista neighborhood, the nearby markets including Mitsuwa, the Farmers Market Sunday a.m. and nearby Whole Foods. We got to say goodbye as we dropped off our keys and gate opener. Lovely all around time.
