Marlene is an amazing host!!! She waited for me till late in the evening and was very responsive to all our questions. She gave me lots of good tips to visit Los Angeles. It was really very useful. The house is big, beautiful. The room is large and has a private bathroom next to it. The bed is extra comfortable and if you sleep with an open window you can hear the beautiful sound of the birds up from 4am!!! Marlene has a little dog Chiwawa that cries a bit if Marlene is out. Marlene is an extremely nice and welcoming person. We had the chance to talk more during a tasty breakfast and she is full of energy and humor!!!! I really enjoyed my stay with Marlene:-)
