I had the pleasure of living at Eric’s and his wife, Alla’s for eight nights. The environment was very safe, the welcome from the hosts was excellent and the house was exactly as described; clean and spacious. I had plenty of vitamin C thanks to the delicious lemonade made by Alla from the freshly picked lemons in Eric’s backyard. Passion fruit were also starting to ripen and at three separate occasions, we received the visit of a female peacock that was walking around in the backyard. What a beautiful sight!
The goal of my trip was to visit my daughter that lives in the LA area. When we were in the house, we were able to cook together, use the refrigerator and stove, talk amongst ourselves or with our hosts of our differences (Russian, French, English languages and Ukrainian, American and French Canadian cultures) but also of our resemblances (the importance of children and grandchildren). Eric was very generous for exemple by giving us a couple of rides since we were using public transportation. A friendship developed throughout my stay. The morning of my departure, Eric and Alla gave me each a gift that I will share with my family when I return to Quebec.
To travel is beeing open to make new connections. I warmly recommend my hosts Eric and Alla Mark in their home in Palos Verdes. Does a 6 stars rating exist?
