Jamie & Ian's cottage was in the perfect location for our stay in LA. We were 25 minutes away from nearly everywhere we wanted to go (plus the traffic wasn't as bad as we expected!).
We were surprised to find ground coffee and three different ways to make it in the spacious kitchen. They even had a slew of magazines set out for us on the coffee table, so we could easily find things to do.
The only bad part was the timing—the neighborhood is crazy about the 4th of July, so be warned if you are visiting during holidays with fireworks.
Overall, this is a great, comfortable place to stay on a budget.
