Darlene and Hadia were great hosts. Darlene handled all the booking arrangements and Hadia was the on-site host. I felt welcomed immediately: warm welcome to the space, chocolates and a really lovely welcome card. The bedroom and bathroom were exactly what is described. I had my privacy when desired and had some nice conversations w/ Hadia as well, so social interaction was really pleasant. I loved Hadia's little dog Happy - she got excited to have a visitor, too! The location was perfect for me: close to the beach, close to LAX Bus route, and quiet enough to relax and sleep; and the bed was VERY comfortable.
