Before my arrival, Maureen was continuously in touch regarding my plans of arrival which I greatly appreciated. Her place is at Playa del Rey area in Los Angeles which until my arrival was unknown for me. You will be able to find plenty of street parking near to Maureen's place. It's a quite neighborhood and I never felt unsafe at all. Upon my arrival, Maureen showed me the room I was going to stay. The room was very clean and cute with a nice queen bed and lots of pillows and a LCD TV. The bathroom was clean as well. I had full bars for 4G LTE through AT&T in her place therefore, I didn't even think in using WiFi there. The beach is really close (1-2 miles at the most), and the beach has long paths for either ride a bike or just go for a run. Maureen is a great host always making me like home. We didn't cross each other during the first days due to my work but in the last days I had the opportunity to talk to her and she was always asking how she could make my stay better. She even offered me flexibility in my check out, making my departure smoother. I definitely look forward to have the opportunity to stay at Maureen's place again.
