This cottage is in an excellent location. Communication with the host was great, he is very responsive and the check-in process was super easy, he waited for us and showed us around the place. The cottage is very private and quiet. BE AWARE: the listing says there is free street parking. This is true but you MUST move your car every 2 hours from 8 AM to 6 PM or you WILL get a ticket. This makes it impossible to do anything in LA without taking your car with you. We were there to cycle and had to put the bikes in the car everyday and go park somewhere else. It would have been a deal breaker if we had known. The other issue was the cleanliness of the place. All prior reviews stated the place was clean, we did not find that to be true. We are not super picky but the bathroom was in deplorable condition, the rugs were filthy, the window sills were full of dirt and mold, the floor was dirty. There were ants everywhere, he had filthy ant traps in the bathroom and bedroom but they obviously were not working, the whole place smelled musty.
