Helen is a great host: kind, considerate, and very solicitous. The house is clean and tidy and my room was spotless. The location was great for me: within walking distance of restaurants, groceries, and convenience stores.
Parking can be an issue if you have a large vehicle for the only spaces available were street parking or visitor parking. My rental truck wouldn't fit in the garage. Fortunately, I was always able to grab the last remaining parking spot.
Overall, it was a great value and I enjoyed staying with Helen and her family and will stay with her again on my next trip to Santa Clarita.
