Although this guest cottage is in the grounds of the main house, the lovely family give you total privacy, while being available if needed. We were able to use the pool and jacuzzi exclusively during our stay and were only interrupted with offers of fresh fruit, popsicles and cookies. The street is quiet and safe but within short driving distance of the multiple restaurants and bars of Ventura Blvd. Also nearby is Gelson’s store with plenty of gourmet food if you prefer to cook at home. Would definitely recommend Ofir and his family as great hosts.
