What more can I say except "I will definitely be back!!!" The cottage is completely divine, in the most fantastic location in Laurel Canyon, which is such an awesome place to stay - I absolutely loved the neighbourhood. It's incredible how close you are to central LA, but you feel miles away in such a quiet, peaceful location. There are many hikes near the cottage, but you can get amazing views of LA without needing to walk too far.
In terms of the cottage itself, the bed is super comfortable and the shower is great with loads of hot water. I didn't do any cooking in the cottage but I could have if I'd wanted to! There was loads of food (and 2 bottles of wine!) left for me which was really useful when I got back and hadn't managed to go shopping. Speaking of food, Johnny (who lives in the main house) also gave me LOADS of food, including bread that he'd baked, purely out of the kindness of his heart. On the day I left, he literally gave me a bag of food which included some fruit, bread, crackers, a cookie, bottled water, and some Black Mole Paste!
Johnny is a fab, very interesting guy who I wish I'd had more time to talk to. He was extremely helpful when I needed anything and I look forward to talking to him more when I go back.
Kelly is who I dealt with before and during my stay (she does all the cottage admin) and she was extremely responsive and helpful.
Thanks Johnny & Kelly!
