Jen and Vlad were very welcoming! Jen was already waiting outside on the day we arrived and showed us around. We were also allowed to use their kitchen with all its supplies! Jen gave great tips, too! Not only about sightseeing, but also about visiting Tijuana and on where to get some great grocerys. We also loved that they included us into their new years eve celebrations when we were at their house. The whole house itself is really beautiful and their dogs are really nice and lovely (and I used to not be the biggest fan of dogs in general). I would definitely recommend staying with them!
