We stayed here for a week. The space was cozy but spacious enough for both my partner and I and our dog (pitbull mix). There is an enclosed space in front of the cottage that the dog could roam around in and Simin left us some doggy bags and a space to put our bowls. Enough Water was provided and the kitchen amenities were great. Any issues we had (mainly with internet) was solved quickly and communication with Simin was easy.
The location was close to Santa Monica beach and about a 12 min drive to Venice beach. About a 25-30 min drive to Malibu (depending on traffic). Trader joes and Ralph’s were nearby for quick grocery runs and we were close to sawtelle for excellent Japanese food and bubble tea.
Overall a really positive stay. The only thing was the bed was a bit small for my partner and I (I’m 5’11 and hes 5’9). I kept waking up every time I turned over hoping I wouldn’t squash my partner or fall off the bed.
