Was here for 2 nights with my partner, and first time staying at a bnb. Was pleasantly surprised by how clean and conveniently located it was. It’s a short walk from state street, where all the good restaurants and retail shops are. The breakfast was delicious and cooked with soul. The cookies were also a lovely treat. Highly recommend for a homey and enjoyable experience!

After a couple of busy days in LA, we checked in at the Cheshire Cat Inn & cottage, we stayed in one of the 2 bedroom cottages, we felt straight away that 1 night is too short, so extended with another night. The owners of this place really do care and go over and beyond. The interiors is gorgeous, so clean, comfortable beds and amazing breakfast! We travel a lot and have stayed in many hotels, but this accommodation is definitely one of my top 10 stays!

Great location. Everywhere we needed to go was walkable. Lots of shops, restaurants and everything you need are close to hand. Anywhere else is just a short and very pretty drive away. Room was clean and quirky. Staff extremely helpful. Breakfast is top notch.

Wonderful experience at the Cheshire Cat! So much pride exhibited in this family owned and run business. Bed very comfortable, grounds lovely, lots of outdoor spaces which is important to me. And the breakfast and bonus choc chip cookies were delicious! Can’t wait to return to my new Go-to! Highly recommend!! Cheers, Debra
