What a fantastic experience! After a plumbing disaster displaced me from my home, during a writing deadline, a week here was exactly what I needed. Soon as I entered Louise's house, I felt a release of tension. The view from the lovely living room of venerable trees and the green hillside in the distance, dotted with houses, made me feel as if I were in Tuscany! The house is beautifully and comfortably furnished. Whether reading by the fireplace, watching TV, or receiving the inspiration that seems to waft through the breeze and into the house, my stay here was a delight. Not only is it a house conducive to relaxation and creativity (I finished a song I'd been writing on Louise's piano), it's a perfect location for walking. Be it the nearby bluffs, with spectacular views of the ocean, or the Palisades Village, where I had coffee every morning, this is a great place to come "home" to.
