Kech's place is perfectly situated on a quiet, tree lined street yet walkable to College Avenue, which is full of great restaurants, bars, shops and easy access to both public transit and the freeway. The cottage is outfitted nicely for a solo traveler. And Kech was very responsive, especially given I had to book something at relatively short notice for an unexpected work trip.
A couple of downsides...the unit is not heated centrally. There is a small space heater but it didn't really warm up the space, which was tough because it was very cold at night. And the bathroom is SMALL, maybe 18 inches between the sink and the wall plus a narrow stall shower with very low water pressure....navigating was a bit challenging.
