Dear Colleen and Al! Thank you so much for a great visit. The sun perpetually shined, it was so different from Canada...we visited every attraction in the Los Angeles area and, at the end of the day, had "home" to come back to. It seems like the apartment had everthing we needed, from coffee to towels. Great job on the interior decoration! We loved it - thanks for hosting us on our trip. Farewell!
