Aaron's place is absolutely charming. It's located in a wonderful, quiet residential neighborhood that is nice for walking. It's also close to Venice Beach and many other fun areas. Aaron and his wife have taken great care to provide a very comfortable, inviting environment. They have remodeled and updated the space without losing any of the original charm. It has a great kitchen with everything you'd need (except a microwave, which we didn't miss one bit). They provide high quality linens, free Wi-Fi, and ample personal products such as soap, shampoo and so on. The cottage is completely separate from the owner's residence, which is behind the rental cottage. The cottage is surrounded by a low fence with outstanding landscaping, including a small fountain, a patio table and chairs and two bicycles that are available for use by guests. We felt very safe and secure with the locking mechanisms. All in all, we loved this place and will absolutely make it our first choice whenever we are in the LA area.
