Great stay--the property is as advertised and Michael was very attentive to any questions we had and was right next door most of the time. We gained a friend in Michael as well--we had some great conversations. We will stay there again when next we are in L.A.

Michael and Laura's cottage is so amazing. It's exactly as pictured and the pool is fantasticly relaxing. I highly recommend sraying at the cottage.
5.0
Clean, cozy cottage is a great base from which to explore the L.A. area. Michael and Laura are terrific hosts - while they live on the property, they were unobtrusive but readily available if needed. It’s in a very quiet residential area, but is completely enclosed by beautiful landscaping. We really enjoyed our time here and would visit again.

We had a great stay at the contemporary cottage! Michael is a superb host. The cottage itself is super cozy and there is just everything you need to make your stay comfortable. We’re a family of four and there’s enough room for everyone. The pool is just great - we spent a lot of time swimming and just splashing around. We highly recommend this place and if we ever come back to LA we would definitely stay there again!

We chose this cottage because we wanted to visit Universal and Warner Bros studios without the hassle of the I-5 and it was the perfect location and very peaceful. It had everything we needed and having sole use of the pool was a bonus. Michael was a great host, it was nice chatting with him and he gave us some tips on where to go.

We stayed at this fabulous property from April 22-26, 2023 and we couldn’t have loved it more. We arrived later in the evening and it was thankfully so easy to enter the house, plus it was located in a beautiful neighborhood that felt very safe. Michael was a very prompt and very nice communicator from the beginning of the booking process all the way through checkout. If there was ever any question he responded within minutes. My kids thoroughly enjoyed the private pool (which we did heat for the couple of days that we could use it)from morning until night. It was so nice having a laundry room to use and detergent was provided. They also have shampoo, conditioner, soap, makeup removing wipes, K cups, and special drinks all ready for you to use. Anything you may need to buy can be found at stores nearby, with Rite Aid and Whole Foods being the closest options. I loved the garden and patio so much, if we had had time I would have gladly sat out there all day bird watching and smelling the flowers.
Our main reason for staying in LA was to go to Universal Studios which was only a 15 minute drive away. Really, we drove to all our sightseeing spots and got there in 40 minutes or (more often)less. This includes Beverly Hills, Funko Pop/ Hollywood Blvd, Griffith Observatory, Warner Bros studio, and the La Brea Tar Pits. Entry to the freeway is very close and convenient to the house.
This VRBO will probably be our favorite stay of all the time, I honestly don’t foresee us ever finding a nicer place to stay. It made me wish I had allotted much more of our vacation time in LA and less time at Disney. Who knew you that could find such a relaxing place in such a huge city? Thank you SO much for allowing us to stay on your property, just writing this makes me miss it. Don’t hesitate to stay here, if it’s available, book it immediately!

We loved our stay at this cottage in Sherman Oaks. The location was perfect for visiting our kids who live in West Hollywood and Resida. We enjoyed Thanksgiving dinner outside by the pool. Michael and Laura are the perfect hosts. They made sure we had everything we needed for our Thanksgiving. We loved meeting and visiting with them. We can’t wait to stay again!

This was at least my fourth or even fifth stay at the Cottage. It remains my 'go-to' place to stay in the region...everything is very comfortable, the kitchen is small but very well stocked, the cottage is quiet, and the neighborhood feels very safe. Never an issue parking on the street right in front of the cottage entrance. And the pool and patio area is lovely! Best suited to individuals and couples, I think. Highly recommended!

My teen son and I stayed in this dreamy cottage while vacationing a few days in LA. We had a car so it was very easy to drive to all the LA attractions and yet come back to a quiet, safe and cozy retreat.
Michael was very responsive and welcoming.
We would definitely come back when visiting LA.

My son and I enjoyed every minute at Michael and Laura’s cottage. The location was convenient to everything we wanted to experience in LA. Michael was an amazing host. He thought of everything. The cottage is in a quiet neighborhood that I enjoyed taking walks through everyday. The courtyard leading up to the cottage entrance is a vacationers dream with beautiful plants, dining area, and tranquil pool. The cottage itself was perfect for the two of us, and definitely would accommodate four people. If we get to go to CA again we will definitely choose this beautiful cottage.

This is our second stay at Contemporary Cottage… and we plan to return in the fall. Super convenient to the place where our dear friend lives. We ate this time at Ginos’s East and at Monster Thai - both recommended by Michael, and both excellent. Spent an afternoon driving out to the Santa Monica Mountains,. We love being here - thank you, Michael, for being so kind to us and assuring our stay goes well. Anne and Paul

Wonderful cottage stay
We stayed at Michael and Laura’s cottage in December. It was a lovely stay. There were tons of personalized touches that made our stay more enjoyable, including holiday decorations. The cottage fit 3 people well and we felt comfortable, safe, and relaxed in the space. There was great communication beforehand and clear instructions on how to get to and be in the space. The neighborhood is a clean and quiet and close to many restaurants. We really had everything we needed to have a wonderful stay- they thought of every little detail. Thanks!

Our second stay and go-to spot in the SFV!
Wonderful hosts and wonderful property! I love the pool and outdoor space, even when it got cool out (by LA standards :-)) half way through our stay. The apartment is comfortable and well stocked with everything one needs. Parking right out front was *never* an issue. We will be back!

A Gem in Sherman Oaks
We came to LA to visit a dear friend living in a rehab facility - we chose Contemporary Cottage for its charm, location, pool (!) - and as VRBO hosts ourselves, we wanted to support a fellow host. The property could not be more perfect - clean, full of hospitality, and location was spot-on for our adventures. Honestly, one of the points we will remember about our stay here was the kindness of Michael and Laura to come out and greet us personally, in the dark, upon our arrival after a 3000-mile airplane trip. We hope to come back again next year, and will definitely hope to return to this lovely home.
