I needed a quiet, peaceful place for a few days of focused writing - away from household distractions. The A Cottage was perfect for me. I took morning walks in the neighborhood, sat on the comfy lounges, had morning coffee and wrote at one of the tables in the yard. Birds singing were the only sounds entering into my peace. The pictures are accurate. The cottage is small but very comfortable and cheerful in feeling and decor. I had one question about how the outdoor shower worked and Heidi answered me within minutes. I live 20 minutes away, so I didn't need to go anywhere, but for those from out of town freeway access is probably less than 10 minutes away; the beach an easy 25 minute drive and Culver City a great place to eat. I'd be happy to come back here next time I need a few days on my own.
