Our stay at Cari's cottage was wonderful! Cari is a wonderful hostess. She greeted us with a hug when we arrived, gave a quick tour of the cottage and grounds and offered assistance on the area and guided us to nice restaurants. We were gone most days into the early to mid-evening and when we returned Cari had turned on the outside lights for us, and she turned on a small light in the cottage and turned the heat or air conditioner on. Cari provides many kitchen essentials, including coffee, an assortment of teas and some breakfast food to get you started.
Cari's cottage is located on a lovely residential street. We had to park on the street but there was never an issue with close parking. We were able to use the driveway to load and unload the car. The cottage is convenient to a Starbucks, we walked there most mornings, and the LA Brea Tar Pits, which has a beautiful park and borders the LA County Museum of Art.
I highly recommend Cari's cottage. The cottage was clean, nice linens on the beds. She provided menu's for local restaurants and even a rewards card for the local grocery store (Ralph's) for us to use during our stay. Cari is there if you need her but gives you privacy as well. If I'm ever in LA again, I would definitely stay again.
