I and my 15 month old daughter stayed at Patrick's cottage for nearly a week. The cottage was just as described - quiet and cozy. Clean, homey furnishings, and a nice little kitchen and small full bath. There was off-street parking in the back (huge plus), and the very private yard with green grass and small outdoor seating area was perfect for morning coffee/evening wine/letting my kid run around. Patrick's instructions re: the property, parking, amenities, etc. were spot-on. It was an unusually hot week in L.A. when we visited, but keeping the windows open (there's great air flow) and the ceiling fan really helped. Location is perfect, very central, with easy access to the beach, freeways, etc (10 minute drive to Venice Beach, 15 minute drive to LACMA). Would definitely recommend!
