I've stayed twice at Hedy's guest cottage and would be happy to return again! The setting is idyllic with gorgeous views overlooking the ocean directly across the quiet street, and abundant flowers and hummingbirds to greet you. The cottage is quiet and well stocked with coffee and other needs. Hedy is quick with communication and will take care of all of your needs, while allowing you privacy during your stay. It's a quick walk or drive to the cute (mostly higher end) shops and restaurants in the Palisades, an easy drive down to Will Rogers Beach, and a great midpoint between Santa Monica/ West LA and Malibu.
