My stay at Rita's place is truly one I will never forget. Being new to air bnb, I was a little nervous about sharing a home with someone I did not know. But Rita instantly made me feel at home with her charming personality and positive energy, so that went away quickly. Her home is absolutely stunning, and in a prime location with many businesses and fun things to do in very short walking distances. Her neighborhood is quiet, nice and very safe so that is also a plus too. My room and the entire house was spotless and comfortable. But what I most loved about my trip was making a genuine friend. Rita truly cares about her guests and wants to get to know every one who walks through her door on a deeper level. She is an amazing woman that anyone would have the fortune of getting to know as she just lights up the room and anyone's spirits in her path. If you stay with Rita you will have more than a reliable home host, you will make a friend for life. I cannot wait till my next trip to LA, as I will definitely be staying with Rita and I cannot wait to catch up with her once again. :)
