I had a very nice stay at Tara and Michael's home. I lived there for 6 weeks and felt like at home since the first day. Michael and Tara are nice and helpful. In your room is a folder with many things that will help you, especially if it's your first time in this area (supermarkets, restaurants, sights). Also Michael gave me a lot of tips for attractions in Los Angeles which you can't find in guidebooks. So I had many great experience and a lot of fun during my stay. The house is clean and also the rest was as described. I could use the whole living area. The bedroom is private and you have your own bathroom. The bikes are very good to discover the surrounding area, especially to ride on the beach.
All in all I had a great time in Los Angeles and would definitely recommend staying there.

Hope we'll meet us again :) At the latest when I come back to LA :)
