The cottage in the back was clean and spacious and exactly as pictured. They have made a lovely setting in their backyard with many interesting plants placed there. There is easy on street parking (rare in LA), it is easy to get in and out of the cottage, and there is quick access to a Starbucks and the 405. It worked out great for my business trip, and LA traffic being the nightmare that it is, if the location works for you, I can highly recommend it!
