I can not say enough good things about my stay at Natalie's cottage. I had a somewhat extended stay of around 3 months and each and every day I felt like I really was coming back to a place of my own.

The cottage is beautifully decorated with clean bright walls and just a great layout. It really is the perfect amount of space for one person or a really close couple. All the amenities you could want are there, between the washer/dryer and front yard, it felt like a nice secluded break from everyday LA. The front yard is small but it's very well maintained and it was lovely sitting out front every morning and watching the avocado trees grow.

Now some people have mentioned the neighborhood and an encampment close by, but I never, in my three months at the cottage had one problem with that or the people in the neighborhood. Nor did I ever feel threatened or unsafe at any moment in my stay. The people that live in the neighborhood were nothing less than friendly and seemed really close knit.

Natalie was a terrific host and anytime I had any issues with anything whatsoever, she was very quick to respond and fix it right away. Plus having coffee and tea to greet you when you first get in is a nice touch.

Overall I would fully recommend a stay at Natalie's cottage. I can't say enough good things about my stay and I already do miss the place!
