Our host, Vincent, was there to meet us the moment we pulled into their driveway even though it was a late arrival. So sorry to find out that Carol was ill and we didn't get to meet her during this stay. The picture of a cozy 1BDR cottage in Los Angeles is beautiful, however, to actually see it --- well this picture doesn't do it justice. We loved every inch of the space, inside and out. Vincent said to use the home like it was our own and we did. The privacy was fantastic although we knew they would come at any time we called or text them. We would definitely use Vincent and Carol's hospitality when we visit our grandkids in LA. Airbnb ROCKS!!
