I was in Australia, Internet searching for accommodation in Santa Clarita. I stumbled upon Sara's private mini apartment.
I'd never heard of air BnB and was a little uncertain about booking.
I started to read many positive reviews about Sara's place and after comparing it to the reviews of other local Hotel/Motels, this private apartment was looking like it could be a pretty positive decision.
I bit the bullet and booked 13 nights.
OMG! SO pleased I did!
First of all, I get a bit ick about staying at hotels. I know most of the time they change the bed sheets but never feel so confident about the covers and how clean they are.. I could see straight away the covers on the bed had been freshly washed. Yaay! It felt SO GOOD to know there were no dead skin cells, sweat or other icky things I'd rather not think about on the bed I would be sleeping on for the next 13 nights.
After looking around the spacious area, I discovered all the little bits and pieces and thoughtful offerings that I had read in all the previous reviews.
There was snack foods and drinks, wine, coffee, juice, lollies, bagels, muffins, fruit... The cupboard held robes to use and all the handy items such as iron and ironing board, laundry basket, storage space and of course the bathroom was also fully stocked.
Sara puts allot of thought and effort in to making her guests feel at home.
Outside was heavenly. It was peaceful and quiet but the best bit was there was a spa and fire pit.
What better way to spend an evening lying under the stars in a nice warm relaxing spa and the crackling of a fire to cosy up beside.
The location was also in walking distance to a pool and shops, parks and a major shopping complex.
I spent 13 nights here, I proposed to my wonderful future hubby by the fire. The whole time the accommodation felt so private yet Sara and her family were only seconds away if we needed anything.
Such lovely, fun and accommodating people to stay with. Such a wonderful place to stay and certain we will return here in the future.
