We really loved our stay at Mel's wonderful cottage. Our only regret was that was that we did not have more time to spend there on a busy vacation, as it is so relaxing and comfortable, both inside the house and the outdoor space. The cottage was so nicely decorated and filled with all the comforts of home, great linens, and extremely comfortable beds. We wanted for nothing and appreciated the cabinets stocked with the basics for our short stay, including delicious coffee. Mel has truly thought of everything a traveler could need. As a host she was so friendly and welcoming to us and offered lots of advice for things to do in the area, including the nearby Abbot Kinney street which has tons of shops and restaurants you can walk to. Having a parking spot was an added bonus. Shopping for necessities was easy with major grocery and drug stores just a few minutes away.
Most of all we loved returning "home" to this charming oasis after busy days around LA, here is where you can step away from the city hustle and bustle and just breathe and relax. Being greeted by the adorable family pets was an added bonus. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone.
