Helen is not just one of the best hosts I've encountered, but also one of the kindest people I've ever met. As others have mentioned, she had a lovely breakfast waiting for us at our preferred time. The only challenge was parking, but she even helped make that situation easy. I felt like family in her home, and highly recommend staying with Helen if the location is convenient for you (it was for us -- minutes from Six Flags Magic Mountain!). It made our trip so much more relaxed and enjoyable!
