Lance is a wonderful human being and an individual who has a passion for hosting. We stayed for a month and it was an absolute pleasure. During the reservation, Lance was upfront about giving all the details and he took extra steps to accommodate our needs right from food options, what we liked to do as activities and detailed welcome instructions right from TV setup to music and books.
During the stay itself, there are numerous points that I want to write of the depths of things he pampers you as a guest from kitchen utensils, cleaning materials, pillows, flowers, filtered water and fresh farmers market fruits, elevating it as an experience rather than just a stay. We also interacted with Lance and sought advice about what to do, what to eat etc and his philosophy in life. He was also very respectful of our privacy and boundaries and we really appreciated that as well.
Most importantly, you judge a man's character by how they react during times of distress. We wanted to WFH and internet was patchy and Lance did a great job at addressing that as quickly as possible. (If WFH is a major criteria with multiple people needing it simultaneously, the internet is ok not the best). I think this action of his in addition to all the pampering mentioned above just highlights the awesome human being he is.
Lance really elevates the bar for an airbnb host. It is not a stay, but truly an experience and arguably one of my best.
