Being that this was my first time in California, Lia (+Garry) made my trip one to remember. To start with, the communication between us was very frequent before I landed. When I arrived, the room was exactly as seen in the picture. It was cozy, the bed was comfortable, and there was enough space for me and my suitcase, which was all I needed. The rest of the house was nice as well. I felt like I was in a museum with all of the photos hung along the walls. That only added to my experience. Also, the bathroom was very clean. And the water pressure in the shower? Amazing!! Aside from all of the technical stuff, which definitely met my expectations, Lia was beyond a great and enjoyable host. We had multiple conversations and she was very helpful about possible places for me to stay when I decide to permanently relocate to California. I'm grateful to have been in such great company. I undoubtedly recommend her!!
