Hadia (Darlene's room mate) made me most comfortable in Darlene's absence. I felt just like I was staying with one of my "California Cousins". They are all sixty miles from my job site. In LA traffic that is like three days, so I have been "making do" without them. This trip was the first time I didn't actually miss staying with one of them, when I came home from work. I have to come back this coming week and unfortunately they are already booked. I would love to stay with them any time I am in town and they are always welcome in my home. Getting to actually TRY a Sleep Number bed was pretty cool, too. The overall experience was twice as good as the hotel I stayed in last time at less than half the price. I would recommend them to anyone, though the selfish part of me wants to keep this jewel of a find to myself. Enjoy and treat them well! You won't be disappointed.
