I visited for a job interview. It was my first time in California, so I made a weekend out of it, and Dean's place was great! It was minutes from the place I was interviewing, and just a short drive to all the tourist spots in LA. I didn't have trouble at all getting around. The cottage is comfortable and cozy and has everything you need. I had had a long month of travel, so I loved being able to cook an actual meal. Dean is courteous and helpful. I highly recommend him.
