    Cora and Matt were great with me during my 4 month stay in Los Angeles, they are generous and always there if you need anything.
    The bedroom and bathroom were perfect and functional and the house is very spacious you will feel perfectly at home. I highly recommend these hosts.
    Thank you again for everything, it was a wonderful experience.
    All the best to them!

    My stay with Cora was very pleasant. She was extremely helpful/understanding and I was given my own space in the kitchen and shared bathroom. The bedroom I stayed in was spacious, sunny, and the bed was so comfy. There were no accommodation issues whatsoever.

    The neighborhood itself is quiet and safe and I will never forget my experience at Cora's beautiful home. I would highly recommend choosing this place for your next stay.

    Maria’s stay at my place was brief but lovely she was an excellent guest in every way. She’s kind intelligent independent, responsible, considerate, respectful,and got along well with everyone.
    She kept her room clean and neat. She’s a high achiever in school. I wish she could have stayed longer.

    If you are a student or a worker and you are traveling abroad, Cora’s house is the place to go.
    She and Matt are fabulous.
    In my experience everything was perfect.

    I stayed here for only 3 months, but it was a great memory and experience for me. Cora is so kind person, and her house is nice and comfortable to live in. This area is a nice and safe place. I had a good time while living there. I want to visit her house again :))

    Cora is a very friendly and hospitable host! I thank her very much for her kindness! Her house is located in a nice and safe residential area, and also not very far from central Pasadena and Alhambra. There is a bus stop near her house, which was very convenient.

    How nice the experience is! The house is luxurious, and the whole family is just too kind to complain. They always share things with me, help me get out of troubles and even invite me to enjoy the music night!

    Stayed here nearly 4 months and it was the best decision I could make. The rooms and the house are clean, Cora, her husband and her daughter were super nice to me. I really enjoyed my whole stay here. She bought water, soda and all the stuff for breakfast for me and stored it in a separate refrigerator. That was much more than a "light breakfast". You get your own keys and you can come and go whenever you want to, there are no restrictions... When you need help they are there for you. A really lovely family, that enjoy to have international people at their house. She had many international students at her house before, but they were language school exchange-students. That's the reason why she doesn't have any reviews here on homestay right now.
    When I come back to LA one day, I will definitely visit Cora and her family again.
