I loved Gilma and Herbie's cottage, and Herbie came by and made us feel welcome soon after we checked in, so that was nice! It was perfect for my situation, and the neighborhood was quiet and felt really safe. I stayed 10 days and started to think of the cottage as "home"...and I really didn't want to leave. I recommend this Airbnb and will definitely stay there the next time I visit L.A. : )
