We were so sad to leave Maria and Mark’s wonderful home at the end of our monthlong stay. It was airy, light-filled, unpretentiously stylish, and very comfortable, and they are exceptionally thoughtful and gracious hosts. I really can’t say enough about how welcome and at home we felt. I also want to put in a plug for this part of LA—it’s a bit under the radar, but a very pleasant residential area that’s an easy drive to, well, seemingly just about anywhere in the city, and especially convenient to Larchmont and West Hollywood. Honestly, it was a perfect month. We hope to return!
