THIS WAS MY VERY FIRST AIRBNB EVER! After hours of research, finally I found a hidden gem in Torrance, CA. Before I booked Valerie’s home, I was kind of scared because it was my first time using Airbnb. Not to mention, this was a family trip for Christmas, so I wanted to book a decent and clean place. Valerie answered all my questions prior and during my stay (including Christmas day). Valerie is very kind and went out of the way for us!
Valerie has many interesting things in her house; so many details to look forward to. Her home has an “antique” or vintage look. Definitely, out of the ordinary décor. The place is lovely, welcoming, and peaceful/serene. We felt like we were in our ‘home’ in Washington. Indeed, a tranquil oasis in the suburbs. We all enjoyed our stay, and my parents couldn’t have been happier anywhere else. The neighborhood is safe, and my mom enjoyed her daily walks during our 5-day stay.
If we plan another trip to SoCal, we will definitely book with Valerie. Unfortunately, we won’t be coming back to LA anytime soon. However, we can cherish the wonderful memories from Christmas 2019. Thank you Valerie, for your utmost hospitality! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you.
*SIDE NOTE: I have seen a couple of comments regarding the quiet hours and light distraction rules. There are quiet hours almost any place you book. It’s kind of common sense, you turn the light off at night due to environmental and courtesy reasons. The lady that lives in the front is actually very nice and understanding. We rubbed elbows with her a couple times in the shared patio.
