Cottage was clean, remarkably well provided, sited with wide view of LA from a hilltop... as good as vacation lodging gets and better than most fine hotels. Hosts were accommodating, prompt, and helpful. We hope to stay there again. It wasn't important to us, but if you're an urban creature you'll find no restaurants, shops, etc. within walking distance. But you can look down and see them on streets spread out way below. J&J, Houston, TX
