I wholeheartedly recommend staying here! Shelley is a very warm and professional host, and her cottage is adorable and very nicely appointed. There is a mini kitchen that includes a microwave and a small fridge, and we were welcomed with tea/coffee, water, and snacks. The main room is very large, with lots of table/desk space, plenty of storage, stylish and thoughtful decorations, and an extremely comfortable bed with chic linens. The bathroom is also very roomy, with a charming vanity desk. A true host, Shelley also made sure there were complimentary travel size products available for us to use. The cottage is in a great location close to central Santa Monica, but in a very quiet neighborhood.

Also, all of the arrangements were very easy. Shelley is extremely responsive, and she connected us to Alec for check in since she was out of town, and he was just as nice. Shelley's cottage is a top-notch place to stay!
