Everything during my 5 days in LA was honestly perfect. I didn’t feel even a bit uncomfortable. The fresh oranges picked from the garden every day were absolutely delicious and the morning coffee with the sunshine made everything feel just perfect. 🍊☕🌞

Situated within 30 km of University Of California, Davis and less than 1 km of Sacramento Convention Center, IreneHouse Victorian INN features rooms with air conditioning and a private bathroom in Sacramento. It is set 1.9 km from Sacramento Valley Station and offers full-day security. Featuring a private entrance, the apartment allows guests to maintain their privacy. I had to delay my check-in due to my child being sick, and Kari was incredibly prompt and helpful in resolving the issue. The room was very clean, and although the bedroom faces the street, it was surprisingly quiet. This is a very safe neighborhood, with a park right across the street. It's also very close to the old town center and perfect for walking, with street parking available. The house is well-equipped with various amenities, making our stay very convenient and comfortable. We had a wonderful experience staying in this charming Victorian-style home—many thanks to the host!

Big Sur Campground and Cabins is a 3-star property located in Big Sur. The property features mountain and river views. Featuring family rooms, this property also provides guests with an outdoor fireplace. I just loved the wood cabin surrounded by giant redwoods. The cabin was so well equipped and so comfortable. Tubing (free tube rental) was such fun. Great to have individual fire pits and outdoor seating. We struggled to light the firewood so maybe some extra fire-lighting supplies would be useful
