The lavender cottage was a wonderful little getaway within Culver City. It’s extremely easy to walk to coffee spots, grocery stores and an abundance of great restaurants. There were so many adorable touches at the cottage, like little bags of lavender potpourri everywhere, a nice private patio to have your morning coffee on, and Kathy was very helpful. It’s the perfect place to start your trip to LA, the few things I’d say is that if you’re staying for a long time, I’d start your trip here, only because there is no laundry on site. It worked perfectly for the beginning of our trip because we could easily bus to Venice beach, but it was nice to come back to quiet Culver City. It was also really great because I was traveling with my best friend, and we’re not worried about being in close quarters. The bathroom door is very thin and not very private if someone is in the bedroom area. But again, that was fine for us. There’s an adorable coffee pot, kettle, microwave, and a small fridge which is perfect for snacks, but if you’re on a very tight budget make sure you think about where you’re going to eat out in advance. On nights when we didn’t feel like going out, there was a TV mounted in the corner with basically every option - Hulu, Netflix, YouTube, and tons of others I had never even heard of before. All in all, very cute cottage, loved staying here, would recommend.
