The cottage is located in a great location, just down the street from the Hollywood sign. The area is residential, so it's very quiet at nights. Having garage parking is great, since the street on which the cottage is located is fairly narrow and it would be hard to part a car on it. Overall, we really enjoyed being able to walk to the local cafe up the street and to the Hollywood sign and to just wonder around the neighborhood, checking out great views of L.A. The self-check in was also very nice since our flight form the East Coast came in very late at night, so having the flexibility to check in at any time was great.
