We stayed with Mark and Sum Sum at their newly renovated detached cottage from Saturday, January 20th to Sunday January 21st 2018. Before we arrived, Mark shared a welcome message with instructions for checking in and contact information. This ensured a very easy check in as we were driving to LA and traffic can be unpredictable and fortunately we made excellent travel time. Mark and Sum Sum greeted us personally and we found the cottage to be very clean, spacious, well decorated and well stocked with everything we needed. There was a printed house manual with instructions as well as recommendations for restaurants and getting around. We especially appreciated the generous gift of water, snacks, and beverages, like teas and coffees and found everything to be in good working order. During our visit, LA experienced an unusual dip in temperature and that evening was especially cold, with temperatures in the high 30’s and low 40’s and a freeze warning was issued by the weather stations. Our room was comfortable and we had an electric blanket and a space heater, which kept us warm. We really appreciated our hosts organic garden, and their admirable gardening skills, and we enjoyed saying hello to their very healthy and happy pet chickens. In particular, we thank our hosts for letting us park in the driveway, since parking in LA safely is always something to plan well in advance, and for waking up early on a Sunday to open the driveway gate - extra bonus host karma points for that - and again we apologize for the inconvenience. We had a positive experience as guests of Mark and Sum Sum and we highly recommend them and their cottage. We hope we can visit them again on any other trips to LA.
