The cottage was everything we expected and Jo-Ann was a pleasure to interact with. The location and the design of the house are unbeatable. You can walk to dinner at the Tasting Kitchen or Gjelina, and in a couple of blocks you're on the beach. The cottage is very tastefully decorated and Jo-Ann even provides some extras like nice shampoo and a bottle of wine. My two concerns going in (street parking and no a/c) were both for naught - it was very easy to find a spot down the block and even when it was 100 degrees in downtown LA, it was cool at night by the beach. I would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to others.
