I stayed at Nancy’s place for 6 nights and it was absolutely wonderful! I am an 18 year old female solo traveller, and it was just perfect!
Nancy was away when I stayed but we messaged a lot and she replied quickly. When I arrived, her father was so welcoming! He greeted me with a hug and helped me take my bags in, he said that I am family now and this is my home! I can’t tell you how lovely that was after such a long trip. It literally made me so feel comfortable and it feel like it was my home. It is such lovely place, there are books, a record player, art on the walls, a notebook where all the guests sign (that’s full of such kind words), sunglasses (which were so helpful because I forgot mine!!!), essential oils, an oil diffuser, a selection of perfumes, skin care and hair care. It was so lovely, like Christmas trying out all the new products!!! I really enjoyed the atmosphere, I found something new everyday! The WiFi was a little bit slow but I got used to it after the first night, you can still use it just fine! It was sometimes loud outside at night because of the neighbours playing music etc but nothing that I couldn’t sleep through. The location is great, when I walked to the metro every morning the neighbours smiled at me and it was lovely! I wouldn’t recommend walking around at night alone (take into account I am an 18 year old female solo traveller), so I wouldn’t walk around at night on my own anywhere, but if you’re with people you’ll be fine! There are bus stops 1 minute walk from the house, but I usually walked 10 minutes down the road to use the SAN Pedro metro street station as it was easier for me! It takes about an hour to get to any of the sites in L.A, but this was no problem at all for me as the metro was so close and I used google maps for everything. The metro and bus systems are great for getting around. Nancy let me check out at 3pm instead of 11am because I had a late flight and no one was checking in the next day, and even though she wasn’t on the property, she always replied to my messages so quickly and was really helpful!! I couldn’t recommend this place enough!!!! Thank you Nancy!!!!
