Heidi's cottage is an oasis of tranquility in the middle of the greater Los Angeles area. All you can hear are birds chirping and yet you are within 15-20 minutes of the Pacific Ocean or downtown LA. Inside, the living area is cozy and comfortable. Outside, you've got soaking tubs, a fire pit w/ Adirondack chairs, lounge chairs, a table with an umbrella - we used them all. Did I mention the bikes and the cornhole game? The neighborhood is delightful and fun to walk around - the variety of housing is wonderful and there is a nearby park. Communication and check-in/check-out were a breeze. Grocery stores and restaurants are close by and plentiful.
You can use Heidi's place as a central base for lots of sightseeing, but you'll honestly be tempted to stay "home" and never leave because it's so peaceful. Highly recommend!
