Marianne was a gift to us during a difficult time in our little familie's life. Her cosy, tranquil studio retreat was devine. She went out of her way to welcome us and was so thoughtful towards our 4 year old son by giving him some books, left on the door handle in a bag, knowing he was without his toys and in between homes. A real person. With a heart of gold. Can be rare in LA. So we very much appreciated the wonderful hospitality. Looking forward to seeing Marianne again soon!! X
