We loved our stay at the cottage. It's a peaceful, pretty spot that feels tucked away from the hustle and bustle - but is actually really close to lots of attractions, restaurants and shops. Visiting Universal Studios with our kids was one of the main reasons we came to LA and it was a very quick drive (or Uber was actually cheaper if you count the parking cost) from the cottage.
Having a lovely pool and garden to relax in after a couple of full-on theme park days was amazing too. The cottage itself is cute and cosy, with a big bed in the bedroom room and a comfy sofa bed (which we actually slept on) in the living room. The kitchen and bathroom were well equipped and the restaurant recommendations were appreciated - and used!
Michael took the time to make us feel very welcome and we enjoyed swapping travel stories, as well as hearing from a real Hollywood local. Much more enjoyable, private and authentic than a hotel - and a great price too. Thanks Michael and Laura (and Gibby!) x
