TUSCAN SUN COTTAGE IN WEST LA..
Nestled beside a large stone swimming pool, this generously-sized studio-style stand-alone private guest house is appointed with rustic romantic details, including an open-beamed ceiling, three pairs of French doors and stone and stucco walls. Perfect for a couple or friends and family, this backyard oasis, filled with orange and lemon trees, rosemary and tea roses will transport you to another place and time as you venture past the large stone wall and enter through the rustic arched wood doors of the backyard gate. Note: this cottage is a private guesthouse, located in the far rear of the property.

***The owners do live in the main house on the same property, so please keep this in mind. Also, this is a large studio space, so there are no separate bedrooms. ***

Enjoy the stone pool, waterfall and stone hot tub: While the pool is NOT heated, it is open year-round. The large 5-person stone hot tub, features effervescent eco-friendly water made super-soft and sparkling clean by ions of silver and copper, plus ozone, and can be heated upon request. Be sure to ask for epsom salts or lavender essential oils to make the experience extra spa-like. Note: Sorry, but the concrete slide is NOT AVAILABLE for guest use.

The cottage's small, but fully efficient sparkling clean kitchenette offers everything you need to enjoy the convenience of cooking quick meals while on vacation, including a large Cosari air fryer/oven, mini refrigerator, microwave, conductive cooktop, Keurig coffee maker (and pour-over carafe), cookware, service ware, basic condiments and more. Dine indoors or out; the cottage table can expand to seat up to 6 people.

Grill and dine outdoors: BBQ memorable meals in the outdoor kitchen, which includes high-end stainless steel BBQ grill, two gas side burners and large French door refrigerator and deep outdoor sink. The bar counter has three chairs for al fresco dining. And a small bistro table with two chairs makes the perfect poolside spot for a cup of coffee or a glass of wine.

Walk to Hot Spots Nearby: including Starbucks, Whole Foods Market, Little Osaka foodie hot spots such as Tatsu Ramen, Ramenya, Oops Sushi, and Brothers and Cousins' street tacos on Sawtelle, and so many more!

PROXIMITY TO LOCAL ATTRACTIONS:
Be Close to Everything: With easy access to the 10 and 405 freeways, the cottage is only 6.4 miles from LAX, 4.5 miles to Santa Monica Pier, 8.3 miles from Universal Studios/Universal City, 2.8 miles from UCLA and 39 miles from Disneyland and only .5 mile from the Light Rail on Exposition (Sepulveda or Bundy Station). The Light Rail can get you to the Santa Monica Pier (beach) in 8 minutes or downtown in 25.

This was a perfect stay at an enchanting, peaceful, beautiful guest house & absolutely amazing hosts!! It is close to everything, but feels like a rustic country retreat in Europe and very healing. Relaxing in the ozone stone hot tub every night was divine & a bit mind-blowing in that full moon under a huge lemon tree! The hosts give you space, but are very caring and go out of their way when anything is needed. Great shower, beautifully decorated & the fanciest tea pot I have ever seen. It had every ammendity anyone could want. We are so glad we stayed here & will be back!! Thank you Beth & Milo!!

Charming place to stay with a rustic feel. Beds were very comfortable. Hosts were communicative and available to answer questions & provide recommendations. Didn’t get a chance to use the pool or jacuzzi unfortunately as my stay was too short. Would stay here again.

Not enough privacy

My daughter and I planned to stay for a weekend in LA to check out colleges prior to heading up the coast. Unfortunately, we left after one night because we were uncomfortable with the lack of privacy. Milo spent about 45 minutes orienting us to the room. After we brought our bags in, I closed the gate between the listing and the main house. Milo became very upset, rushing back into the studio telling us why it must stay open for zoning issues with the city.While we knew the listing was on property, we did not realize it would feel like a fishbowl with direct views from the main house. Although the neighborhood seemed safe and the location was great, we both felt very unsettled and left before 7am the next day, checking into a hotel for our second night. This is the first VRBO I have had to leave early. and it was a disappointing (qnd expensive) experience overall. I did not bother requesting a refund.

Not what advertised

This is the first time I’ve felt compelled to write a poor review but it’s necessary here. They need to do better, especially for the price point. It’s completely absurd. The place is dirty, run-down, and small. The pictures are false advertising. The pool was green, dirty, and unusable. It should not be advertised as being comfortably fitting four people. It’s basically a small room and does not even have a proper divider between beds that are mere feet apart. But the primary issue was the owner. Milo said he was having financial issues. He would constantly watch through transparent glass of his nearby house, talk endlessly whenever we came or went,and remain hovering every time we were there. He continually talked whenever nearby. He made the whole experience uncomfortable. And then he said it was a shame we were not leaving earlier than the 11 am checkout time because he had another family come to clean it up. He claimed to not know what time check out was and rambled on about how it was inconvenient that we were staying until checkout time we paid for. He was just always there and made the experience unpleasant. No privacy. Not recommended.

Super nice cottage

This is a special place to stay for a short visit in LA or for a vacation. All confort inside, and a "spoiling" confort outside, in the nicely arranged garden. Our stay was too short to get advantage of the garden but still spent some time outside. Milo, the host, was very helpful and gave us all assistance one might needs in a foreign town. Just go there and you'll simply love the placespeial spevial "spiling""

Humble Cottage on the Westside

Upon our arrival after a long journey, Milo warmly welcomed us and gave us a comprehensive tour of the rental cottage and its amenities. Every day, as we bid farewell, Milo offered valuable advice on exploring Los Angeles. Upon our return, we felt like we had stepped back into our own home.However, our biggest disappointment was the state of the property. Despite the high cleaning fee we had paid at the time of booking, we had high expectations for cleanliness. The pervasive dust, both floating and settled in corners of furniture, made our daily tasks, such as changing bedding sheets and lowering curtains, a chore. To add to the discomfort, the property was infested with spiders and their webs, hanging in corners or accumulating on light fixtures. One particularly alarming incident involved a large spider crawling on one of the beds.Another area that fell short of our expectations was the kitchenette. Shelving, the wooden cutting board, pots, pans, and dishes were covered in caked-on debris and grease, making food preparation unpleasant. On our first night, we had to purchase cleaning supplies to make the kitchen usable.The restroom, like the rest of the property, was in a state of disarray. It featured exposed copper piping that made showering uncomfortable alongside a numerous amount of spiders.In hindsight, if we had raised the issue during our stay, the accumulated dust would have posed a greater health risk if it had been addressed promptly.
