This unpretentiously elegant, quiet and private "cottage" behind the host's--Chantal's-- home in the Rancho district of Burbank was our sanctuary between family college graduation festivities. Chantal's own parents once lived here so you know it is something much more than a generic rental. It is light-filled by day, beautifully but unfussily furnished and appointed, and everything in it--from the flatware and cutting boards to the bedding and bath products--has been selected for quality and charm. And the pool deck...heaven. The bedroom is petite (full bed, not queen; shower stall basically in the room) but did not feel crowded for 2 somewhat normal-sized people! And the sound of burbling water from the koi pond outside kept it serene. Chantal is the perfect host; friendly, helpful, and respectful of privacy. She welcomed us with wine, cheese, chocolate, and breakfast muffins--and the milk we'd requested for our morning coffee . We loved everything about this special place-including the adorable neighborhood.
