Welcoming me to her home, Marlene was like an old friend. Her warmth, her great healthy breakfasts with lashings of fruit and the snacks left in my room, helped me feel at home.

I was snug in a warm comfortable bed.
I could spread my clothes out in the cubaords and closet provided and had my own bathroom too.
Oak Park is a beautiful area surrounded by hills and beautiful countryside walks yet not far from the coast near Malibu.
