Maria is a wonderful host and her home is a beautifully designed, peaceful sanctuary. We brought our family of 5 to visit friends in LA. The house is a great location- close to great restaurants, coffee shops, grocery stores and Griffith Park. Our favorites we're Proof bakery for coffee and delicious pastries and Little Dom's for brunch or take out sandwiches. The kids loved the outdoor space and swimming in the pool. My husband and I enjoyed lounging in the sun and soaking in the hot tub after a long day out around town.
