This little cottage is in a great location on a residential street, just a block from restaurants and shops along Ventura Blvd. Despite its proximity to such a busy street, it is very quiet, with a hedge of bushes behind it and tall fencing all around it. There is a small private yard with a place to sit next to a koi pond. The proprietor Dmitri was welcoming when I checked in and prompt in his communications, answering within minutes whenever I emailed or texted him. Also, he fixed the TV while I was out and thought to turn on the AC (very hot day) so the cottage would be cool when I returned. Definitely a 5 star host.
Don’t expect high-end fixtures and furnishings at this reasonable price. Bring your own face towel, tissues, paper towel, and drinking water (if you don’t want to drink tap). Upside, there is an iron; hair dryer; electric kettle; toaster; cups, bowls, plates and silverware for 2; and an assortment of condiments. In sum, the studio is clean, cozy, feels very secure, has a perfect location, and the bed is very comfortable. I would definitely stay here again.
