Robbin's place was just what I needed. I was in-between L.A. beaches one for a conference, the other for a friend, and I needed an affordable place that wasn't 'seafront prices.' I had been traveling for over 10 days, so the laundry in the cottage was a lifesaver, as I like packing clean clothes home. The communication level was ideal-- balanced between knowing they were accessible but not bothersome. Bed was comfortable, temperature controlled, plenty of amenities to take care of oneself. Even healthy eco-friendly toiletries are provided. I appreciated the sitting area just outside the cottage also. I walked to dinner/coffee easily.
