This is a great place for a small family, quiet and cute neighborhood close enough to walk to the beach but away from the crowds. The cottage is spacious, clean, and private, with a nice patio and beautiful succulent plants all around. Snacks and water were waiting for us when we arrived--a lifesaver! And they have a laundry room and bikes you can use. Patrick was a terrific host, available as needed but respectful of our privacy. A few things we enjoyed nearby: awesome toy store, 50s diner, secret neighborhood swings, Beyond Baroque, delicious food on Abbott Kinney -- all easily walkable. Can't wait to visit again!
