Just spent nearly 2 months staying in this cottage. Not only is it on the nicest street in Venice, it's an amazing little hideaway. Located through a green pathway in a fenced area, the cottage is a place I looked forward to coming home to every night after work. And during the day there's so much light, you won't want to leave either. The furniture and decor and appliances are REALLY high and tastefully done. There's 2 big closets, a nice sofa, dining table with 2 chairs, desk, skylights in the ceiling, washer/dryer/iron and a TV with DVD and cable DVR. Also, parking is never an issue, despite being a block and half from the best part of Abott-Kinney.
Jo-Ann is such a sweet person. She does her own thing and let's you do yours, but it you need anything she helps out in a an instant. Her husband is super nice and their dogs are hilarious.
I'd highly recommend their cottage for a weekend, but if you have an extended stay in LA you'd be lucky as hell to book this place.
