The moment I got there, Rita instantly welcomed me with warm, open arms into her beautiful home. I frequently travel by myself to LA and this had been my first experience through Air BnB because I usually stay at hotels or friend's apartments. This time around, I was quite nervous to be staying with a stranger, but needless to say, Rita made me feel extremely comfortable and treated me with kindness, generosity, and respect. The room I stayed in, as well as her whole house, is extremely clean and tidy. The neighborhood is walking distance to everything you need, and I only found myself needing a ride or using Uber when I was traveling downtown. It is a safe and lovely place to be. Rita frequently made sure I was warm at night, left me breakfast most mornings with the nicest little notes, and always asked if I needed anything to make my stay more enjoyable. I also really appreciated that she gave me my privacy when needed, and that there was no problem going and coming to the house as I pleased. I will miss having long talks and listening to her jokes and stories from her past, or even singing for her! But I do plan to come back when I make it back to LA soon, and am so thankful and glad that I found a beautiful home to stay in from now on, with the most amazing woman and host there is. Thank you for everything. xx Adriana
