I was looking for a weekend getaway that was peaceful, inviting and made me feel like wasn't in Los Angeles, and Sylviane's Garden apartment was the perfect place.

Sylviane is the ultimate host who not only has an amazing sense of design, but also left me wanting for nothing. The apartment is decorated with unique charm, including all the amenities. The beautiful yard served as a wonderful playground for my dogs and Sylviane's Pablo - who is a love button.

The best part, though, is Sylviane herself, who is very gracious, kind and whom I felt like I knew my whole life. It made the entire experience that much more special. I am already looking at my calendar to see when I return to her beautiful getaway in the canyon!
