The Blue Cottage is even nicer in real life than in the photos. With the quiet backyard setting behind a house on a quiet tree-lined street, and the wonderful bed, I slept better than I usually do at home! It’s a great place to relax after a busy day. There’s a nice collection of DVDs available to watch and lots of books to kick back with.
The location is excellent as a base to explore Culver City — even without a car: the crosstown bus stops one short block away. It goes directly to downtown Culver City and links to bus lines that can get you to Venice Beach and many other interesting places quickly and cheaply. If you prefer to stick to the neighborhood and don’t mind walking ten minutes or so, there is a good selection of supermarkets, drugstores and restaurants that can be reached on foot.
Jim and Lilibeth are friendly and attentive and obviously enjoy being hosts! Minor problems that I had were handled quickly. But they respect the guests’ privacy and don’t intrude needlessly. I felt like I was in my own little place — a home away from home. Highly recommended — I will definitely stay here again!
