There are not enough words to describe how wonderful a stay is at La California and it's entirely due to Mary. She is a marvelous host and as hosts ourselves, we really feel like she embodies what Air BNB is all about. We were welcomed like old friends and treated like family. Her breakfast is superb (we will have to spend time in the gym after the croissants, cheese and nut breads). The fruit included with them was the best. Our room was larger than I expected and extremely clean and comfortable. We even had a little refrigerator which was wonderful considering we are on the road for almost 7 weeks on this trip. The neighborhood is very convenient. There are stores directly across the street where we were able to get some cheese, olives, and pate along with some wine to enjoy in Mary's lovely back yard. She had recommendations for places to eat (plenty of restaurants within walking distance). If you like to stay in a home with a host that is helpful, informative and interesting to talk with, don't hesitate to book a room a La California. We just hope she will come to Charleston to stay with us in the near future.
