We rented Maria's place for 6 nights over the holidays and by the end of our stay it felt like home (or rather a dream home!). My parents, my partner and I all found ourselves eager to return after each day's outings. The house is simply beautiful, with spacious common areas (including a fabulous and well-equipped kitchen) and 3 full bedrooms and bathrooms, which was perfect for our needs. The hot tub and second living room w/ gas fireplace was an extra treat given the colder weather. We never met Maria but communication was very smooth from the get-go and she left detailed yet succinct house instructions. Maria was always available via email and answered promptly when we had a couple of questions during our stay. The location is great- tucked away on a quiet street but close to groceries and restaurants, and with all of LA seemingly 15-30mins away. I couldn't recommend Maria's listing more highly. Perfect for a family or laid-back group who have the time to enjoy the space.
