Lyu's place is beautiful, clean, and for the most part very quiet. They are very quiet people who keep to themselves. Ni hao is hello in Chinese I think. I am hoping I spell it right, but Lyu's's husband taught me how to say that and goodbye. The room is very beautiful and clean and the bed is a queen sized bed. The bed has a spring mattress if you care to know. It has space for you to hang and store your things if you need to. It also has a nice oscillating fan which keeps it very cool alongside the central air that they have, which is awesome for California. In the room is also a night stand that holds the remotes for the fan and the light. Next to it is a desk and chair if you need to get work done. Their is a laundry basket as well as little garbage bin to throw your things in. It has everything you need in a room. *Ensure that room door is closed with lock as it sometimes pop open* The bathroom is very clean too and it too has everything one needs. The shower has excellent water pressure as well as hot and cold system. It is a little tricky because the handle is a little different from other knobs. The front piece is for turning on the shower, and the piece behind it changes it from cold to hot and vice versa. That second piece goes all the way around so do not get nervous there. The bathroom has all your basic toiletries as well. (Shampoo, conditioner, soap, your personal towel and washcloth). There may be another room mate there and one may hear a move here or there, but the fan is excellent in blocking out sounds, if you are a light sleeper like me. The family does have a baby, and for the most part their little angel is very quiet, and if he does cry, it is not for too long. The kitchen has utensils that you need for your stay and space in the fridge if you need to put things in there. Location: While there is a lot of public transportation right around the corner, Lyu's home is still2 hours away from LA. I did not realize that at time of booking, and it makes a big difference when travelling by public transportation. There is not much to do there except for a few parks and the nearest beach is 23 miles. The best thing about the neighborhood is that it is safe and quiet. The fan's timer went off at some point during the night and I woke up wondering what heavenly place I entered that it got so quiet I could hear a pin drop. 😀 There are plenty of restaurants directly across the street, and the food is amazing there! There is a host of Vietnamese, Chinese, and Japanese foods, and they are very authentic. I froze some...
