This cottage is perfectly located for business and pleasure. Our trip to LA was a mix of work (a convention in downtown LA, and spring break skate trip for my son and his friends). Communicating with Tracy and Imelda was easy, and they were super friendly! LA traffic can be a real bear, but getting to downtown was quick and the rest of my family were easily able to drive to Santa Monica and other surrounding spots within 30 minutes from the house. The home itself is just right for a group of teenage boys, and tired parents after a day outdoors. The two bedrooms are nicely separated, so the boys could end their day in the living room watching TV or in the front bedroom, while I was able to escape their late night noise in the back bedroom. The kitchen had all the needed basics and the washer/dryer were very convenient. The gated parking spot provided is great. It might seem narrow, but the big Dodge Caravan we rented fit perfectly . We definitely will stay here again if we return to the sunny skies and many skate parks of LA. Thank you Tracy and Imelda.
