Michael was a delightful host! I was moving across country and spent the week at his house. He was very accommodating concerning parking and being mindful of my belongings. He was easy to communicate with, flexible, and had great suggestions for things to see and do in LA especially when it came to the Hollywood Bowl. He was also a fascinating person to get to know and I had both light hearted and deeper conversations with him. His home was maintained, the kitchen and grill open for use, and there was even some ripe fruit from one of his trees. The house was easily accessible to the highway and Trader Joe's and the beach were only a quick drive away. If you find yourself headed to the Marina Del Rey area of Los Angeles make sure to book a stay with Michael (Tara was not home during my stay but I'm sure she's a blast, too). Happy travels!
