Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We were coming from Baton Rouge, LA after being hit by Hurricane Ida. We had many logistical issues in terms of keeping our trip plans together. Helmut and Marlene were very understanding and accommodating to our needed changes. On one issue they went above and beyond reasonable and my group appreciated that. We were there for the LSU @ UCLA game- they were also gracious enough to let me mess up their kitchen to make some shrimp and sausage jambalaya to take out to our tailgate. They were accessible but also gave us our space. It was like staying at a distant relatives house. Only thing to note is that though the location is centrally located where you can get to different areas of town quickly, the location is not conducive to walking to places of interest. Having a car is essential. Great host and a comfortable house. I would go back. Thanks Helmut and Marlene!!!!
