My son and I loved staying here! Mando and Marta were welcoming and kind. The cottage was indeed private and cozy, also very comfortable - it was really great to have a little place of our own, then to take a step outside and just enjoy being in the yard, reading in the shade of the lovely fruit trees. Mando and Marta's place is also close to public transportation. Can't think of a more perfect place to stay in LA!
