This place was amazing. This was our first AirBnB and wow was it great. The Cottage is roomy and cozy. We stayed here for a week. It is a great place for kids too with two big bunk beds and their own room. We had our own very roomy master bedroom. The back patio was a great place to hang out and experience the nice southern california weather. The kitchen was large and with everything you need to cook a meal. Amy was an amazing host. First she had everything in a book she wrote about the cottage and surrounding areas. What numbers to call, where to eat, what to do in case something happens. The washer and dryer worked great. She even had a book of dvds that we could watch with the kids. Amy even went above and beyond the call as host. I thought I lost my keys at one point and I texted her and she went into the cottage while we were away and found them. She also researched the attractions and sent us a huge list of things to do with links to the websites. The neighborhood was great, very quiet. Lots of shopping, restaurants, and things to do. Not far from the beach or any LA attraction. Easy to park and get in and out of. This place is more than 5 stars. The best place to stay in Southern California.
