Not very complicated, just make yourself at home. ;)
On a typical day...
I have a very open house. My house is your house.
When I host guests...
I like to chat with them when they are home but have my own things going on.

About the Homestay
- Welcomes
- Males
- Females
- Couples
- Families
- Students
My home is a comfy two bedroom place to be at, minutes away from Studio City, Universal Studios, Warner Brothers, Hollywood and Metro/Public Transportation at the cross of 2 main streets but yet very tranquil/quiet. Guests get a beautiful private spotless bedroom, a fine clean bathroom for themselves, and get to share the living room (air conditioner in there), dinning room and kitchen spaces with me when I'm around. It's a happy and tranquil place to rest or chill while guests stay. Me, I am all about people and will make sure your stay is one of joy, for you to relax and hopefully, why not, come back soon again!
Thank you, hope to see you soon, and welcome you to Hollywood / L.A.!!!

Alfredo was indeed a wonderful host for my sister, Joanna, and myself. Having come from Ireland, we were looked after like VIP guests and shown around Hollywood. Alfredo also gave us the use of a US mobile phone during our stay in Hollywood. We were looked after royally and Alfredo made our stay a good one..
How do I book?
Contact the host about your stay - tell them a little about yourself, why you are staying and ask any questions you have about their homestay. You will be able to book immediately after sending your message.
When do I pay?
Once a host confirms they're available, you can go ahead and pay the 15% booking fee (maximum of 199 $£€ for longer term bookings) using a choice of payment methods: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Maestro, Laser, JCB & PayPal (not available in certain countries). You then pay your host on arrival or as stated by your host on their profile and agreed by you on booking. Please be cautious if a host requests advance payment if its not included on their profile. Our hosts have been advised that if they wish to request advance payment they must make this explicit in their profile. We do not recommend the use of Money gram or Western Union.
When can I share my contact details?
Host and Guest email address, phone number and home address will be exchanged in a confirmation email sent to both immediately after a booking is completed. It's against our policy for Guests and Hosts to exchange direct contact details via our messaging system.
