Violet and John were some of the kindest hosts I've seen world wide . After traveling and living over seas for over a decade, I was touched by the generosity and compassion of my hosts here in Los Angeles , Palisades .the history and of the area can be discovered here . The parks and public prperrtoes nearby are stunning . The neighborhood feels like a botanical garden . Violeta's home feels like home as her and her husband opened their doors for us . I came across the pacific to be treated medically in Santa Monica . During this time I could relax in the most beautiful ( my opinion ) part of LA . My health and family thanks you both Violeta and John !
