This rustic cottage has natural light, green views, and privacy. I could hear traffic in the distance and occasionally on the street as expected in Los Angeles, but I also heard a rooster crowing in the morning; nice. The neighborhood is friendly and safe. I walked my dog both early in the morning and at night, always comfortable. The cottage does have a few steps to negotiate, but if you like someplace with character and centrally located, it's a great place to stay.
