I really enjoyed my stay at Valerie`s house. It was my first time travelling alone, but Valerie made me feel not lonely. She was very supportive and showed me around the neighborhood (which really was quiet and safe). I also appreciated the snacks she prepared, since I wasn`t able to buy some food for breakfast at my arrival (she also offered me some breakfast for which I am still thankful as well). Valerie was very helpful and a sympathetic person! The room was very clean and huge, with a BIG cupboard. The little fridge was very useful, as well as the coffee maker! The location of her house was very central and close to Venice and Santa Monica. Would go there again!
