Can't beat the location, it was within walking distance of Whole Foods and CVS. And a ten minute drive of the Santa Monica Promenade/Piere, Venice Beach, Abbot Kinney, 40 minutes away from Redondo Beach, and 30 minutes from the airport.
It's also the most affordable option for a couple plus a couple friends. my fiance and I could stay downstairs and my friend had her own space in the upstairs loft area.
There was plenty of free street parking, even on Tuesday where your can't park on 7th which is the street right next to the cottage.
The only thing to consider is that this place is VERY small, so it was difficult to find places for three large suitcase. There is an upstairs loft, but it's a ladder and you can't stand up in the loft, so you can't bring your luggage up there. We had three people staying and we were tripping all over each other.
However, despite the size, I don't think there's a better value if you are a couple with an extra friend because two hotel rooms or an Airbnb in that area with two bedrooms would be much more expensive. If you don't plan to spend much time at the cottage or you are coming as a couple, this is a great option! We would definitely book again here.
