Monica was a wonderful host! She was flexible with our check-in and check-out times, stopped by to say hello and was very responsive with any requests. We were a group of local teachers looking for a space to hold a 2-day curriculum writing retreat, and we lucked out finding this place. Everything about the house was perfect! The house was clean and airy, the backyard was sunny and beautiful with a gorgeous deck, and both the kitchen and bedroom have glass doors opening out to the yard. We had private spaces in the bedrooms to work and community spaces in the living room and kitchen to collaborate. The kitchen was well stocked with beautiful bowls and dishes, pots, pans, spices for us to make food together. We had an amazing retreat and Monica's house was the perfect space for us to bond and create curriculum for our students! I would recommend this house for anyone looking for a Los Angeles getaway, and we will definitely plan to come back here for future retreats.
