Great bed, good room, spacious house, nice leafy well-off neighbourhood – only a short walk to the bus that takes to you to either Santa Monica or the nearest Expo Line train station. I was usually out all day and come home quite late at night so didn’t have the chance to talk as much as I would with homestay. But what chances I did have to converse with her and her husband were very good. Debra is nice and generous with cookies too.

Isabel and Ricky are warm, welcoming, open-hearted family to stay with. I thoroughly recommend staying with them if you have the chance. They are great to stay with, and talk to about all sorts of topics, and share your day. You are fortunate enough to share in a piece of their family life. Me and Isabel even went to the two presidential museums (Reagan and Nixon) together and had great fun. The room is clean and good size, with ensuite bathroom. Very good location too - a short walk away from a bus that goes from Downtown, and 15-20 minutes from the Red Line which is the handiest Metro line to use for most of your top LA destinations (Hollywood, Downtown, etc). You get to meet their four dogs too! Haha.
