Irma is the coolest! She’s kind, inspirational, attentive and yet sensitive to privacy. Really, an ideal host, in our opinion.
Her home is nice and cozy and the location is super convenient if your travels are focused in and around Burbank/ Glendale. (Side note: Check out Miracle Bakery right around the corner from Irma’s place. It’s fantastic!)
There were a couple of cleanliness issues around the kitchen and we worked easily together to resolve those. And bear in mind that the guest room is on an upper floor and upper floors in LA generally get VERY hot in the summer. Irma is very flexible about managing the temperature but when Southern California decides it’s going to be hot, it’s hard to manage.
We even hope to maintain a relationship with Irma now that we have transitioned to LA. She made an emotionally challenging transition far easier than we expected it to be - all from being such a great host.
