it was a real privilege to stay at Helen's house. She is a great host, gracious and friendly. Her home is very clean and tidy, and the neighborhood is quiet and pleasant. One particularly convenient feature is that a supermarket (with prepared food available), the Laguna Hills mall, and other shops and services are within moderate walking distance, which is somewhat rare in suburban Orange County.

Davida (and her little dog Matilda) did a wonderful job giving me a place to call home while visiting Irvine. Her house is clean, quiet, cozy, and well-maintained. Plenty of food available.
