Even compared to other well-reviewed and beautifully-photographed places I've stayed, this one is better for a number of reasons. The place is super clean and comfortable, with a nicer kitchen than might be surmised from the photos, and a relaxing atmosphere in every room. The back yard is a tranquil and private place to read and hang out, and the front yard (in between the cottage and the main house) has an awesome lemon tree. The location is *amazing* as it allows quick travel to common destinations in west, north, and east LA. Parking is easy as long as you observe the street cleaning rules. Jamie and Ian were extremely gracious and responsive, yet the cottage felt very private. Great great place.
