Osiris' oasis in S. Pedro immediately attracted me when I first looked for a place to stay in SoCal. I had to attend a function in Orange County and wasn't sure if I would make it in time to get the keys beforehand since it promised to end late. It was never a problem! Osiris communicated every detail that I needed, even helping me plan the leisurely part of my stay by offfering to take me to the local Metro station in case I chose to go to a concert in downtown LA. When I arrived, everything exceeded my expectations. First of all, S. Pedro turned out to be a perfect little gem (directly South on 110 from downtown LA). As if this wasn't enough, what Osiris created in the back of her house came as a complete delight. The in-law is charming beyond words, beautifully layed-out, and appointed here and there with exquisite little touches marked by her artistic sensibilty. It came with a full kitchen, AC (and/or fan depending on the taste), and a very comfortable and well equiped bathroom with a large shower. I even saw a washer / dryer next door which I am sure Osiris would not have hesitated to offer me to use, had I asked for it. The highlight was definitely the garden, so much so that it took me hours to leave the house to go explore LA and surroundings, so much I enjoyed lounging on the deck chair in the quiet off the neighborhood. Osiris became my family away from home, making me every bit welcome in her little haven. She provided breakfast foods for the morning in case I had no time to shop before I arrived. When I decided to extend my stay an extra night (a no brainer), it was absolutely not a problem. She even woke up in the middle of the night to help me in when I locked myself out! Her gentle kindness, generosity, and undisputable gift of hospitality served as the reminders why stays such as this one make traveling and meeting new friends a precious memory. Thank you Osisris, a la proxima vez!
