This high-ceilinged and stylish cottage is located back from the street, so it is incredibly quiet (except on the Friday morning I was there, when garbage and recycling trucks roared down the nearby alley). A wall heater dispelled the California winter chill, and the place felt homey and relaxing. (Note that there are five or six stairs up to the loft bed.) It's located a half-block from Kensington's downtown, where there's coffee, food, and entertainment. A wonderful place.
