I must say Vanessa was an OUTSTANDING host and the home fit my every need! The house was neat and clean. Linens were fresh. Sheets and pillowcases were ironed!! Haven't had that experience since before my beloved grandmother died. There's nothing like the smell of ironed pillowcases and bed linens!! Vanessa and I really hit it off personally as welI. I felt very safe and comfortable in this neighborhood. The neighbors I met were kind and friendly. I stayed 6 nights, held a workshop/class in the home with 6 people, all of us found the location to be very central with easy access. Vanessa was on premises during my entire stay and made all of us feel very much at home. She even offered us delicious fresh plums and lemons off her own trees. The house was great! Everything looked just like the photos portrayed it would be. I've already discussed with Vanessa returning to her home to offer another workshop. Such a great find if you want a central location close to LAX. Thank you Vanessa for making my every wish come true. I value our new friendship and find it an honor to write this review for you. May you have many wonderful guests who visit your special home.
