About the host
Hosted by Doris Nikravesh
Hi, I’m Doris — hospitality and design are my passions. I love creating beautiful, comfortable spaces that make guests feel truly at home. Hosting allows me to meet wonderful people from around the world while sharing my favorite parts of Los Angeles.
I believe in thoughtful details, clear communication, and warm hospitality. When I’m not hosting, I’m usually discovering new restaurants, hiking, or working on my next design project. I look forward to welcoming you and helping you experience LA like a local.

Why they chose this property
Lake Balboa is one of Los Angeles’ hidden gems — peaceful, tree-lined, and family-friendly while still being centrally located. You can start your morning at Lake Balboa Park, enjoy a jog around the lake, or grab brunch at a local café, then reach Universal Studios, Hollywood, or Beverly Hills in minutes.
I love this neighborhood because it feels like a real community — quiet enough to relax, yet close enough to everything that defines LA. It’s the perfect home base for exploring the city while returning each evening to a calm, comfortable retreat.
