Great little luxurious cottage

The cottage is in a nice neighborhood and was so nicely decorated with a lovely kitchen, elevated ceilings, some sky lights and adjacent garden. We were very comfortable and the host has thought of everything to make you feel at home. Would stay again.

Great place

We enjoyed our stay! The cottage was exactly as described, in a convenient location to Venice beach and the surroundings shops. Suzan was an excellent host, providing information about the area and suggestions on where to dine/shop. We felt safe knowing it was gated and did not have trouble parking.

The property was nice with a good zen feel, but overwhelmed by too many security cameras. It felt very invasive and uncomfortable at times. Overall it was a nice stay.

Peaceful, clean cottage with everything you need

This peaceful little cottage was just perfect. The kitchen is fully equipped to make any sort of meal you would like. The bathroom is gorgeous and pristine with plenty of space for all your toiletries. I loved having a closet where I could unpack and settle in. The hostess, Suzan, is very nice and accommodating. I look forward to spending many more trips here.

Perfect little cottage

I stayed for two nights in Suzan's adorable cottage in Venice. It's clean and welcoming, and it has everything you might want or need. Parking is easy, and the neighborhood is quiet and perfect for walking if that is your thing. Grocery stores, including Erewhon, are a very short drive, as is Abbott Kinney, for some fun shopping and the beach. The airport is also pretty close; it is only a 20-minute drive. I will be back and highly recommend it.

A wonderful place to stay with an excellent host

A friend and I booked Suzan's beautiful cottage for a few short nights. The space was perfect for us -- we found everything we needed, it was comfortable, had great natural light, thoughtful guidebooks and recommendations, and a comfortable bed. Suzan was super communicative, responsive, and kind, and was quick to respond to any and all needs. Would highly recommend this booking for anyone looking to explore L.A., we hope to come back!

Great stay

Susan was a great host, and a really nice person. She went put of her way to make sure I had everything I needed while staying at the property, and even went out of her way by meeting me prior to Checkin to help store my luggage. The property was warm and inviting, and even had lime trees right outside the door. The pictures are exactly how the cottage looks in person, and was walkable to Venice beach/ abbot Kinney area in under 30 min. I would most definitely stay here again.

Wonderful stay with a wonderful host

The cottage is so cozy. It’s great if you just want to relax or if you need a place to kick your feet after adventuring. There’s a grocery store close so we just hopped on lime scooters or lift bikes to get some stuff and spend a night relaxing on our last day. Suzan and sunny are amazing hosts! Suzan is very helpful with check in and while she is right there for anything you need she also gives you your privacy to enjoy yourself. I would stay here again if I’m ever in California again.

Quaint, relaxing, and chill neighborhood

We stayed at Suzan’s place for two weeks. The indoor outdoor nature of the studio made it feel nice and open. Nice modern features and Suzan’s hospitality made it a pleasure to stay. I’d enjoy coffee outside by the lime tree and walks around the neighborhood. Wifi wasn’t very strong, that would be my only point of feedback. Would love to visit again!
