The cottage was a dream-- beautiful original features coupled with thoroughly modern renovations. Our favorite part was the backyard space; really lush with a hammock, deck, and grill. Beds were comfy and the kitchen was very well equipped. We loved the location-- secluded up in the hills and completely silent at night, but just 5-10 minutes to great coffee, restaurants, indie bookshop, Whole Foods, etc.
The house is on the smaller side, but worked perfect for our group of four friends (the two bathrooms helped a lot). Would also work great for a family with the split level bedroom situation. I would note that this is an older home (though lovingly restored) so some of the fixtures and plumbing can be a bit delicate.
Zach and Callie responded nearly instantly to messages, and left easy-to-follow instructions for check-in/out and a house guide. A perfect long weekend in LA!
