What a delightful time we had staying with Tara and Michael. They have a lovely home, and our room and bathroom were very comfortable. They encouraged us to make good use of the spaces in their house and were very generous with the use of their kitchen. We ate meals in their dining room, kitchen and on the back covered deck. The gardens are beautiful and we had hummingbirds hover right over our heads while enjoying breakfast. I love how eco conscious they are including composting and recycling. We borrowed their bikes for a delightful ride on the nearby bike trail down to the beach! The neighborhood is cozy, has ample and safe off street parking, and it was easy to access other parts of LA from their home. Michael provided loads of information about all kinds of LA activities. Each time we talked he would think of another possibility for us and would e-mail me details. Michael also responded to every e-mail I sent within moments. Tara and Michael invited us to join them in the backyard on the Solstice to watch a movie and enjoy an outdoor fire. Such wonderful people - I would definitely stay with them another time.
