Graciela was a fabulous host who made my wife and I feel like family during our stay at her studio! We stayed for one month, as we were just moving to the Los Angeles area for a new job, and had to look for a new apartment. Her space is clean and very artistically decorated, and the garden that she designed is a true treasure. My wife and I would cook in the studio and eat all of our meals on the table overlooking the garden every day, which was a sublime treat! Graciela even drove my wife out to Pasadena to spend the day with her one day, and bought us pastries from one of her favorite bakeries on another day. She also told us about a fun dance party that is held in Downtown Los Angeles each weekend, which was a blast. She is one of the friendliest and kindest hosts that we have ever met, and struck the perfect balance between giving us space and being available as a friendly neighbor next door. She even gave us a housewarming gift for our new home on our last day! My wife and I feel very blessed to have met a wonderful soul and a friend for life in Graciela!
