The cottage by the sea was an excellent place to stay and in a great neighborhood. John and Susan were awesome hosts and were very helpful. They kept our bags for us as we were early checking in, provided breakfast and waters in the fridge, and were very friendly in offering their knowledge of California and key landmarks to see on our drive down the coast. The palisades neighborhood is lovely and ample parking was available on the street. The cottage was immaculate and the bedside m&m treats were a nice touch!
