This little cottage was exactly what we were looking for in our stay in LA. It was magical and the communication with the owner was great. It's in a good neighborhood and th location is great if you want to be close to Culver City, Venice Beach, or Santa Monica. I would stay here again if I could.

This place is even prettier than the pictures! The garden smelled like jasmine and honeysuckle at night! Everything was very well stocked, including lots of fluffy robes and slippers! The host even set up little tubes of toothpaste and little bottles of water by the bed! There are 3 cats on the property and one of them is very friendly and loves being petted! The other 2 are more reserved and shy but are very polite! The house and garden are both absolutely gorgeous and bigger than the pictures make it seem! We really enjoyed our stay here!

The house is just beautiful and looks even better in person than in the pictures. Kathleen is a designer and her aesthetic excellence features clearly in the way that she has set up the place. It feels warm and lovely but also beautiful and luxurious at the same time and the white interiors provide a sense of peace come and space perfect for a chilled out vacation.In addition, Kathleen as a person is just such a beautiful soul and incredibly helpful, friendly and warm. She treated us just like family and we felt so much at home.

Charming Stay

This property was a lovely, spacious home base for our adult family of 5. Easy street parking and fantastic location close to the coast. We enjoyed the outdoor space and being surrounded by flowers. We very much appreciated access to beach chairs, towels, umbrella and a cart, and the care Kathleen demonstrated to us before and during our stay. This house has great character!
