Natalie was extremely accommodating with my very last minute request to book her cottage. She arranged for a cleaning company to come the day of my arrival (on a Sunday!) Although we never got to meet in person, the check in/out process was seamless and she was very responsive to any minor issues I had when first settling in (WiFi password, etc).
The cottage is adorable and looks exactly like it does in the photos. The place is spotless, and even the floors and bathroom/shower were immaculate! Everything seemed like it was brand new. The bed was super comfy, and I even asked her where I could get her mattress for my own bed! I didn't get to use the kitchen much, but it seemed like it was fully stocked. Very fast WiFi and the TV and cable worked great.
The location is a little remote, but for me it was a quick 10-15 min drive during rush hour to downtown LA in the mornings. It is very close to the I-10 freeway entrance (literally around the corner) and also a quick drive to West Hollywood/Beverly Hills area (about 10-15 mins). One thing I thought might be important to note to future travelers, on my second night there I did notice about 30 homeless people had set up "camp" underneath the freeway overpass. It did startle me a bit at first, especially not knowing the area or my surroundings, but the next morning the police were escorting them away. Somewhat normal for LA from what I am told.

Overall, the cottage was great! The only negative I could possibly mention is that the place might be a bit cramped for more than 2 guests with large suitcases due to floor space in the bedroom, but it was perfect for me.
Thanks, Natalie, for a great stay!
