My condo is in the village of Laguna Woods. I have a large guest bedroom/bath with a view. There are walking paths outside the door, arboretum and lots of flowers with a patio for tea or coffee/breakfast. The beach is 7 miles and hiking in the hills 4 miles. My interests are photography, watercolor.
No pets in my home please. 2 vaccines needed to stay here. I hate doing laundry so 4 day minimum stay. Sunday is blueberry pancake breakfast.

Helen is a wonderful host and make sure you have everything you need and give you a small tour. She's kind generous and in general a very good person. It was wonderful staying there and the place was very clean and very welcoming! Thank you Helen!

Helen was a really good host. She had set up everything so well for me, it felt like home. She made some amazing pancakes for a Sunday morning breakfast! Thank you so much once again Helen!

I thank her for the beautiful hosting. The house is very beautiful. It explains the chest. It is surrounded by trees, plants, flowers, natural scenery, and the area. The neighbors are calm, smiling, and very nice. The area is very safe. It has a very beautiful beach. She works as an English teacher. It was an exciting experience and I hope to stay in her again in the future

Room and the house were stunning. Staying with Helen exceeded all my expectations. She was incredibly helpful and heartwarming host. Calm and pretty neighborhood. I'd definitely stay there again!

Helen is a senior citizen, living in her peace and quiet, not very familiar with owners/guests contractual relationships, WIFI was a huge problem initially and she went through quite an emotional episode over it. I felt restricted comparatively, staying in her place.
She has a clean, modest place in a classic retirement community of Laguna Woods. The view from her place is good, grounds are pretty for morning walks. She is helpful, and shares useful information voluntarily. I would recommend her place for emotionally mature people who need an inexpensive place to stay in a nice neighborhood.Host reply

Very personable and supportive even in the face of the health crisis. Helen's home is comfortable and cozy in an ultra safe community.

This guest awarded the host 5 hearts but didn’t leave any comments.

Helen has a nice ranch style house in a gated community. There are lots of trees and nice paths to walk along. The bedroom is clean and the bed is comfortable. I always bring my own pillow so I can't comment on the pillow.
Helen provided me with coffee and cereal and fruit in the morning. She was very helpful in guiding me to places to go and see and was available sometimes to join me. I enjoyed Helens hospitality and her comfortable home and would not hesitate to book another stay with her.
