I cannot say enough about the cottage; it is a fantastic value all the way around. Joanne was gracious in her communication and flexible with my later than expected arrival. The cottage is conveniently located in a quiet neighborhood, yet close to any service you might require. The space is 100% private and quiet - save for the squirrels who wake up early and scamper on the roof overhead, tossing avocados. I am an early riser myself, so actually found it rather charming. Joanne has clearly put a lot of thought and care into creating a lovely and welcoming space, both inside and out. I especially appreciated the outside patio area and its well-maintained garden. The bed is quite comfortable, as are all the amenities that Joanne provided. I will not hesitate to book the cottage again, next time I travel to LA.
