Beth's place is an exceptionally cute and cozy cottage wonderfully located on a quiet street near shops and restaurants on Ventura Blvd. Beth is super communicative and warned us early of potential noise from next-door construction, but luckily for us jet lag worked to our advantage and we were never bothered. (And it wasn't that bad.) We enjoyed eating out at Teru Sushi, the Artisanal Cheese shop and the Tuning Fork, to name a few nearby places. There's easy access to highways 405 & 101 from Beth's location - BUT check on LA traffic close to when you travel. Our supposed 40-minute drive to the Getty Villa took almost an hour and a half because we mistakenly checked the distance/time at night rather than in the morning near the time we wanted to travel!
