it's such a good experience for me and my wife, the best. The time we arrived at Melissa's home was almost 11pm due to taking a wrong bus, however, the host waited us patiently with welcome. That's really home feeling! It made my first night in America extraordinarily delightful.
The tent room is right located at the beautiful yard. It's warm at night with a mini-heater working with little noise. Closely touch the nature all the day, wow, with the sky as cover and the ground as bed, how romantic it is. Especially suggested for couple, husband and wife, enjoying family time.
The location is quite near to Venice beach and Saint Monica beach. Melissa supplied us two bicycles for travelling around, so gently and friendly the host and her family are. It is also convenient to buy whatever you need in nearby market, such as whole food, 99 cents and CVS pharmacy etc.
The second day living there, we wanted to go to The Getty, and it would take around 1 and half hours to get there. Unexpectedly, the host and her family picked us up directly driving their private car to the destination as they went out for breakfast.
Living in Melissa's home, you can use their kitchen and tableware freely, good opportunity touching real American family culture.
The last day, we had a breakfast together with the host and her family so nicely. Before we left, Melissa gave a gift to each of us, a hat for sunshade.
Thank you Melissa and your family, if we have next chance coming LA, we will choose your place definitely again. See you!
