The cottage is absolutely lovely, welcoming and airy with everything you need for your stay.
Mando also supplied the ingredients for a lovely breakfast on the little decked patio in the pretty garden, surrounded by orange trees with lanterns hanging above you.
Mango and her husband were really warm and welcoming and have obviously taken a lot of time to make the cottage feel homely. There was even a Bose sound dock to plug your iPod or phone into, a really thoughtful and generous touch.
We didn't really explore the immediate area, but it is well placed to get to most areas easily, we went to the MOCA downtown and up to Hollywood and Echo Park which are all close by, by LA standards.
It's a lovely, quiet little oasis in the heart of LA and we really enjoyed our stay there.
