The little lake balboa cottage was everything and more. The location was quiet, close to the freeway and very well put together. While entering the property, we met Brad who was very warm and welcoming to our stay. The cottage was set back with a private little yard perfect for us and our senior pup as well as a private entrance blocked by landscape. The cottage was equipped with everything we needed from AC, Ceiling fans, towels, pots and pans, a gas stove, and the bed was super comfortable!!! Everything about our stay was relaxing and easy. I highly recommend this property for a quiet weekend getaway, just keep in mind LA traffic can be disappointing. All instructions were well listed and easy to follow.
