Gloria was a wonderful host. She was very welcoming and kind - going so far as to offer us a ride to the airport. She made us feel right at home. The house is small but very cozy, perfectly clean, and beautifully decorated. The patio out front is especially nice - lots of comfy chairs to sit in an enjoy the sun (and maybe an orange from the tree in the yard). The neighborhood is residential working class, but there are some really excellent (and very cheap) restaurants around. I'd especially recommend Zacatecas, Licha's, and Banadir Somali.
