My husband and I were in LA for a long weekend to introduce our son to family and friends, and maddalena was such a gracious host and her house was simply perfect with wonderful amenities like central air conditioning, a BBQ, an inviting garden and patio for entertaining and she was very communicative and helpful. She even stopped by so my father in law could practice his Italian! I can't wait to stay here again next time we are in LA. You won't find a better airbnb host!
