Hilda graciously accommodated my mid -afternoon arrival to her home with my son after our 7 - hour across the state. We were able to easily access our quiet room and take a much-needed nap.
We were there to attend the 2016 International Latino book Awards ceremony at Cal State University - Dominguez Hills, that same evening. The campus was just 10 minutes away. Hilda's location was PERFECT, as she had assured me before I booked. Happy. Easy.
Parking was simple right in front of her house. We arrived home after the awards ceremony quite late (around 11 p.m.) with a First-Place award in hand for my bilingual children's book titled "Captain Mama's Surprise."
That's when I first met Hilda and we stayed awake for a bit getting to know each other :-) She was a warm, lovely host and her son was a sweetheart as well.
I would definitely recommend her home, especially if you are visiting the university. The stay was exactly what we needed it to be for the short time we were there. The coffee ready for me to take in the morning was a nice touch.
Thank you Hilda for everything. Enjoy the books!
