I am usually very hesitant to try a bnb stay that has no review history, but I am delighted that I overcame my reluctance. Jane was an absolutely amazing hostess and the cottage was a dream. The location is very easy to find, near major thoroughfares yet the neighborhood was quiet, safe, and serene. Parking is handy behind the cottage with it's own private entrance.
I met Jane and her beautiful daughter when I arrived and she gave me the tour of the cottage and a bit of its storied past. It was well stocked with all you would need for a stay (linens, kitchenware, etc) plus those little extras that make it like home. She thought of everything; soaps, first-aid kit, coffee and tea, wine glasses, even sake cups!
The cottage was perfect for the two of us. My mom slept in the bedroom and I slept soundly on the sofa sleeper that was very comfortable and easy to set up. It was a particularly hot time in southern California during our visit but the window air-conditioner and ceiling fans kept it very comfortable. There were closets with plenty of room for hanging things and empty drawers for storage.
Many great restaurants are in the area as well as grocery stores nearby. Jane was thoughtful to leave a notebook full of menus of her favorites along with route maps so they are easy to find.
Traveling with my 81 year old mom could have been a challenge, but our stay at Jane's Cozy Cottage was a delight and we left with nothing but fond memories!
