Liz was a superb hostess from the first e-mail!! Our daughter was selected for an internship in Santa Monica and, while we arranged for for her to stay in the UCLA dorms while taking a class, we still needed a place for her to stay the first week of the internship before class started. Enter Liz......the perfect choice!! This was our first experience with AirBnB and we were nervous having our daughter staying with a stranger across the country!! But, Liz immediately impressed Erin and her dad. She was gracious, the location was perfect (only blocks from the promenade), the room was spacious and decorated beautifully and our daughter felt immediately at home and welcome. There was parking for the car our daughter was using, Liz's dogs were angels and Erin fell in love with them, and, in the very best way, Liz was always interested and helpful without being intrusive. I felt very comfortable and feel we made a great decision. Liz has certainly sold me on AirBnB and, if I visit my daughter in LA, I plan to see if Liz's home is available. I highly recommend her!
