My husband and I were in town for five days and Amy's casita was a great home base to explore LA and the surrounding areas. The cottage is very clean, has everything you could need for a short or long stay, and is conveniently located close to Whole Foods, the freeway, a yummy frozen yogurt shop open til midnight (always a bonus), dry cleaners- anything you could need. Amy was warm and inviting but the cottage was also designed to provide lots of privacy. The outdoor area that opens up off of the kitchen is completely private and gets great morning sun, and is a great place to have a yummy breakfast before heading out to explore.
