I had a wonderful and relaxing stay with Russell Aiello who is a superb host and wonderful chef.

Russell took care of every detail ensuring that I was warm, comfortable and cared for in his bright and cheery home. His guest room is very clean with plenty of room to hang my clothes and store my suitcase in his closet. The room can be made bright with sunlight or remain dark for late morning sleeping. Russell has stocked the bedroom with DVDs for the TV as well as a variety of CDs to play in his bedside player/alarm clock. And the private bathroom is immaculate with plenty of hot water, soft towels, shampoo and even bubble bath.

Downstairs, Russell has plenty of room to relax on his soft chairs and plushy sofa. He keeps his home so clean you would never know he has two cats who keep to themselves and give their affections to Russell (who deserves it!)

One night I had the pleasure of staying at his house for dinner and the simple meal was incredible. A terrific cook, Russell stocks his bright kitchen full of wonderful foods and was very thoughtful and generous by making sure there was plenty of my favorite fruits on hand to eat. Coffee, muffins, fruit, and orange juice was always available for me to enjoy any time of day or night.

I simply can't say enough wonderful things about my recent stay with Russell except to add that I was sorry to say goodbye. I highly recommend to anyone planning a visit to LA to book your stay with Russell. I know I will.
