“why even bother with trying to find a decent hotel?”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 4, 2013

the Garden Cottage B&B is a wonderful B&B with excellent hosts.
My husband and I stayed in Sept 2012 and had a great time.
Location is handy to many places, safe to leave a rental car on the road, easy to walk to many great restaurants an shopping -all this plus great accommodations too.

The hosts, Bob and Ahuva are genuine, warm and caring people with a keen interest in ensuring your stay in LA is a good one. Plenty of free advice and brochures on offer, with great conversation and humour. Wonderfully delicious breakfasts served...love it!

Would love to stay here again...and recommend to anyone staying in LA - honestly, why even bother with the big hotel chains?

Room Tip: We stayed in The Garden Room...lovely setting to sit in and sip on a wine...

“Believe what everyone else says and stay here!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 2, 2013

We had the pleasure of staying at the Garden Cottage B&B in the Garden Room for three nights, after a very long flight from Australia. Everything about our stay was perfect and this was by far our favourite accommodation throughout our three week trip to the USA. We are a couple in our mid twenties and the location was ideal for us, easy walking distance to The Grove and Farmers Market, as well as a great mall that has Macy's and plenty of other stores (you can catch the hop on hop off bus here to explore all of L.A). Bob and Ahuva made the stay even better and we are still talking about how amazing the breakfast was each morning! We would highly recommend to all our friends and family :)

Room Tip: The Garden Room was a great option, private entry and plenty of space.

“Adorable, warm and charming”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 28, 2012

I had never stayed at a B&B before but I was visiting my daughter nearby and didn't want to stay in a hotel. What a smart choice this was. The hosts are warm and fun. They give advice on the area and are available when you have any kind of problem or concern. The room was spotless and charming. I stayed upstairs in the Terrace bedroom. It rained most of my visit but still, having the door open to look out was so nice. Multiple channels on the cable and a very comfy bed. Great towels and amenities, it was perfect. The breakfast was so good that i asked for the same one every day! I spend 5 nights there - I STILL want that breakfast!
Parking was plentiful and easy. (and free)
The only thing that I would warn against is for someone frail to need to climb up onto the bed in this particular room would be a little difficult, it's very high. (but once you're there - wow, so comfy) I will be back!

“Great Location and Hosts!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 22, 2012

We stayed here twice, once in June and again in July this year during our vacation, and can thoroughly recommend.Location wise it was superb,better than our accommodation choice on previous visits to LA.Within walking distance to good restaurants, Farmers Market and The Grove.Also a short drive to many other places.
Breakfasts were delicious, and it was a pleasure to chat to other guests around the table! A big thank you to Bob and Ahuva for their hospitality and amusing banter! We would certainly return if visiting the are again.

“Great”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 18, 2012

My husband and I stayed here as part of our 3 week road trip. We only stayed for one night as it was a whistle stop tour of LA before moving up the coast.

We stayed in the little cottage in the gardens behind the main house and it was wonderful. The cottage was spotless and really beautiful.

Breakfast from Ahuva was one of the best I had across the whole 3 weeks, wonderful fresh light ingredients and a perfect way to start the day, all wonderfully served up in our own little cottage kitchen by Bob and Ahuva.

Bob was really helpful and friendly, making the reservations, arranging parking, and checking out were all effortless and he had some good recommendations during our stay.

The B&B is a short walk away from an old market area and easy to find. I would defiantly recommend this place.

Room Tip: The cottage in the garden is wonderfull and only a little extra so well worth treating yourself
