Host Rita was very welcoming, and just a super nice person who loves to laugh and tell stories, and sit a talk. She left us nice notes telling us there was coffee or pastry in the AM and little informational things. The location of the house is very nice area, centrally located in a very nice safe neighborhood off melrose. To give you an idea of the location, we took an uber to the grove outdoor shopping mall for $6. Her place is very clean and spacious, she rents out 4 different rooms, so there are other guests staying there.
