Wonderful place to stay. Carmen and Bill were friendly and easy to reach. The cottage itself and the surrounding gardens are much nicer than they appear in the photo, so we were pleasantly surprised. They made us feel welcome by leaving cold water in the fridge, providing bikes, and restaurant recommendations. The location is excellent, and we felt we had the best of all worlds--close to beach, Abbot Kinney, and easy public transportation. Can't recommend these hosts more highly.
