Janet made me feel at home from the second I arrived at LAX to the minute I left. Not only did she help clean my living space, but she helped make sure everything was in order for my arrival and departure. She even drove me to the airport for my trip home. Her dog and (one of) her cats are super-friendly and always greeted me at the door. The other cat tended to stay outside and not in the house. The neighborhood is very nice and quiet and is extremely close to the beach, but it is also close to main roads and the highway. Janet also provided me with many resources to find new things to do in LA and the Manhattan Beach area.
