I had a great stay with Karen. I have stayed in many homes with private space and in general have great respect for people who do this. Karen is one of those special people that make room for people like me. I was on business/visiting in LA and i could not have been more warmly received than at Karen's place. The house is special. Karen rents one of her bedrooms and nearby bathroom. You are in her house and that is special. She was generous with my use of the kitchen for tea. She was very helpful with guidance on places to eat. A privilege to have had the opportunity to stay in Karen's house.
