We spent a wonderful 5 days at Lavender Beach House. The cottage is in a great area, on a quiet pretty street close to Abbot Kinney with cool coffee shops and quirky shops. Also close to the beach. Recommend hiring bikes. Kendall was very forthcoming with info and advice before and during our stay. The cottage was extremely well equipped and has lots of info with everything you need to know about the neighbourhood and beyond. We would definitely return, we felt comfortable and at home. We were car-less but it was easy to get around locally on bikes and on foot, using cabs for longer distances.
