We had a truly wonderful time at carol and Vincent's cottage house. Vincent was waiting for despite the extremely late arrival, 2 a.m.. he made us feel welcome and comfortable right away. the cottage had everything a traveler might need from close to 30 kinds of coffee (:)) and bagels for the morning to beer and snacks for the later part of the day. The cleanliness was perfect, lots of extra towels and bath supplies were available. The neighborhood felt safe and was very convenient to get around to many of LA sights, stores, and restaurants.
