Can't say enough about our stay at the awesome Gretchen cottage. When we arrived at night, didn't think we'd be able to make our way to the guest house in the dark when viola!! Sensor lights magically lit our way to our home away from home. The guest house was exactly as described. Extremely comfortable and super clean (which is very important to us!). The bed was very comfortable and there was plenty of extra blankets if we needed them. We came to California to visit our son, who spent many hours with us at "our" place hanging out on the couch -- talking for hours and watching television when conversation lagged. The main street in the area, Magnolia Blvd., is literally right around the corner. I wake up early, and took my morning walk to get coffee because I enjoy walking (there is a coffee maker in the cottage). It's a great area. Also, walked back and forth from my son's apartment at all hours of the night and felt totally safe -- it's a great neighborhood! Restaurants, amazing interesting shops, everything you could want without having to drive in LA!! Major bonus for me! The amenities were well beyond expectations . . . Snacks, fresh fruit and a bottle of wine were waiting for us when we arrived. Unexpected personal products including extra towels, hair care products; even ear plugs (which we didn't need since the area is so cozy and quiet) and lovely books. We simply couldn't recommend staying at this lovely, comfortable, convenient,, wonderful place. No negatives whatsoever. Thanks again so much for hosting us!
