Ita is such a kind and caring host! She made me feel very welcome and at home during my stay. Her place is gorgeous, light-filled and airy with a beautiful courtyard. The apartment has a soothing and relaxing atmosphere, perfect for a traveler looking to have a relaxing stay. There is even an amazing bath, for which Ita has all the supplies (salts and oils). That was definitely a relaxing highlight of my stay. I was very comfortable throughout my stay, Ita went above and beyond. She had fresh flowers and chocolate laid out for me and even took me to get groceries, which was so thoughtful and helpful! She also had great advice on where to go from a local's perspective. The neighborhood is residential, offering a great area to stroll around in and take in the California architecture. Food and restaurants are only 10min walk away. ALSO, there is a park right next door! Highly recommend!
