My friend Aubrie and I (both female and 23) stayed with Nicole and Angela for a month while we searched for apartments in the area. We are originally from Pennsylvania and Nicole/Angela's place was the best introduction to California living that we could of possibly had. Both of them were such wonderful hosts, always going the extra mile to include us in plans, cook for us, and even let us try some of Angela's wonderful coffee! This was my first time staying at an airbnb that the hosts were also living in and it could not of been a better experience. In fact, now I am so happy to be able to call both Angela and Nicole friends! Their animals Damon (husky) and Olier (cat) are also so sweet and friendly and it made me feel right at home since I was missing my family's pets back east. If their airbnb is ever open ABSOLUTELY BOOK IT. You will have so many laughs and great memories that will make California even more wonderful than it already is.
