This is the 2nd time I have stayed at Maria Gabriella’s and her place is truly a special favorite. During my recent stay, there was a slight heat wave, and I can’t imagine any place I’d rather be. Maria Gabriella’s place has plenty of fans and delightful cross-breezes. Best of all, Santa Monica is almost always one of the coolest areas during hot LA weather, plus the beach is just a 10-minute walk from the house. I spent my days swimming in the Pacific Ocean and my evenings enjoying the beautiful sunsets. I look forward to my next stay at Maria Gabriella’s beautifullly-designed apt.
