Gretje and Ryan's place was an enormous joy to be in. There, as I caught up on badly needed rest and entered my new home of Los Angeles, I found the many, many thoughtful and stylish touches in their apartment to be soothing -- just what I needed in my life. I felt nurtured, and pampered, and all of this in an unpretentious and very affordable setting, high on a hill from which the mountains felt always-close, and morning sun came into my yoga practice each dawn. The neighborhood felt family-oriented, sing-song with ice cream trucks each afternoon and the calls of distant coyotes in the hills beyond at night. So though very residential, it felt like both city and the wilderness merged in a way, Everything inside was immaculately clean, and all furnishings looked very new. A bountiful breakfast was left for me, one more of so many touches which made this travel-weary woman feel cared for. And Gretje was super-attentive with responses to any questions and needs I had. I will surely recommend their place to friends and may try to stay again myself.
