Maria's home is AMAZING. We had such a wonderful time staying there, we hardly wanted to leave to explore the city! That said, when we did venture out, the location was ideal. A wonderful area to walk in and explore, lots of nice restaurants, shops, and groceries nearby. The furnishing and decor are just beautiful; really stylish and tasteful. The saltwater pool and spa are wonderful. We appreciated the cover, so it was kept clean the entire visit. We had such a great time swimming and relaxing. The home itself is really kid-friendly; besides the small child's table and toys available, we loved the subtle beep every time a door opened, so we could tell if one of the kids in our group were trying to sneak outside! We can't thank Maria enough for sharing her wonderful home. It was the perfect place for us to really relax and enjoy LA.
