Staying in Theresa's home is like staying with mom, no matter your age. She is a natural nurturer. She gives you as much space and autonomy as you need and totally respects your privacy. However, the 24/7 coffee bar with snacks and her warm nature make you feel all the comforts of home. I enjoyed my room and the shared home. I could use the kitchen and laundry room. The backyard, with the hammock and green California grass and trees was a sanctuary where I could read my book, listen to music or take a nap. The park is walkable and allowed for exercise. Free parking is just a cherry on top of an easy and relaxing stay after a day of work. I highly recommend her as a host and would gladly stay again when in Southern California.
