Jackson’s Cottage is an amazing refuge; the front yard and the backyard, not withstanding the fact being in the middle of Metropolitan Los Angeles, are both tranquil, refined, and exceptionally peaceful. I was not expecting an oasis so I was more than pleasantly surprised.
At the core of this little strip of paradise is Jackson’s Market two doors down from the cottage. Jackson’s Market is the community meeting spot but the old-school sense of the word “community:” a gathering spot, a respite from the worries of the world… a place were friendly people gather and enjoy one another’s company whether in individually silence, or collectively in groups, the Market’s magnetism leads to a sanctuary off the street that could be found in old world Europe.
