The other reviewers were right! This is the best place to stay in Whittier. I travel to SoCal about every year to visit family & friends and it's difficult to find a great AND reasonable place to stay in the area. I had an excellent stay. Jay (and Douglas) were great hosts. I didn't get to meet the other roommates but that's because we had different schedules but I always felt comfortable. The space has a great decor, well-maintained and all-around very pleasant. I loved the private bathroom! I appreciate the extra special touches like coffee, mini fridge, streaming TV, holiday lights and the electric blanket for chilly December. The handwritten farewell note (in Spanish for me) was very nice. I hope to stay here the next time I'm in Whittier. Thank you Jay and Douglas for everything! Happy Holidays!
