Karen is an awesome host and such a nice person. As soon as I arrived to her home she was very welcoming and went over some things in the house like where to find water and how to work the shower. In the room she provides you with towels and face towels for you when you shower. Just be sure to bring your own shower items! (Which is what I did/usually do) The bed was comfy and the room was clean! Karen was also very accommodating with the temperature in the house. I was fine with where it was at but she is willing to work out what she can to make sure you are comfortable. Her home is close to the freeway and the Glendale Galleria which is nice! And the area she lives in has good parking!
I stayed at her home for a couple days for a festival close by and she was nice about letting me come in kind of late. I just made sure to be respectful! I would definitely recommend staying with her. She also has a sweet and shy dog named China. She doesn’t bother you at all but she does like her pets!
