We stayed a week at Laurel's cottage and had a great time. Kitchen supplies, towels, etc. have been provided. The place offers a lot of space to feel 'home'. The garden and secluded patio is inviting to enjoy the great Californian weather. In the safe neighbourhood you will find some nice restaurants/bars (walking distance) and a shopping center is nearby.
Laurel has been very accomodating with check-in and check-out which made our travel really easy.
We would definitely come back!
