Mel is a terrific host and always available to answer questions or provide tips on neighborhood amenities.
And if you enjoy running, swimming or skiing, you'll have a lot to talk about.
The cottage is very nicely done and the outdoor seating area with fire pit can't be beat! Very quiet at night, so no concern about noise interfering with sleep.
It's an easy walk to the main commercial street, Abbott Kinney, with a plethora of excellent restaurants and shops.
I wouldn't hesitate to stay there again.
