Un séjour de 3 mois très agréable dans une famille très accueillante, sympathique et bienveillante pour ma formation professionnelle dans une école de maquillage à proximité. Vous pouvez vous rapprocher de cet hôte si vous souhaitez séjourner à Los Angeles et visiter les alentours. Je recommande vivement. Très bon souvenir et j'ai gardé contact avec eux.

I spent 3 months with Marissas family and it was a wonderful time. I felt like a member of the family from day one. Marissa and her family are friendly, helpful and became my second home.
The house is cozy and clean and the area quiet and safe. I couldn‘t imagine a better hostfamily and would immediately book my trip with Marissa again!June 2022
The host cancelled the booking 47 days before the arrival date.

Wonderful experience. The whole family is very nice. I never felt excluded and I always felt like I was part of the family; and they were very respectful of my space. There was no difference between my home and this. It is a very peaceful neighborhood and anybody who lives there will feel right at home.
