Another host canceled our reservation and we didn't find out until we landed at LAX. Apparently a family member passed away but we were panicked thinking it would be hard to find a spot in the area we needed (not far from the cruise port), and we came across Rita's listing. I noticed her location was spot on, rates were good and she allows medical. After trying to reserve it said we would know within 24 hrs. We didn't have 24 hrs. It was evening and we needed somewhere to stay. She replied in no time though and we were super grateful. Rita was there to greet us at checkin. She's just great. The place was sparkling clean, no signs of cats (other than the cats themselves, we love cats), she had a table with some fruit or candy we could help ourselves to, and she even let us medicate in our room (window open). The next morning we knew we needed to grab a few things still for our cruise, and her bicycles were perfect for getting around. She gave us a tip to get a free ride to the port even, only had to walk a few blocks for pickup. I don't know how well it would have gone with the other host but we were so glad we ended up with Rita instead. Thank you Rita!
