James was the perfect host! From the start, he established excellent communication with us, returning our texts within minutes of getting them. The cottage couldn't have been cleaner or cozier. We got in, exhausted from our travels and were delighted to be greeted by James. He ushered us into a lovely abode stocked with granola bars, coffee, and snacks. He respected our privacy but was ready to help us with everything we needed: referrals to restaurants, directions, etc. We were so happy with the accommodations, we wouldn't want to stay anywhere else in L.A. Kudos to James for providing just what we needed to feel right at home.
