Whenever we go on vacation, I always take my time looking through homes and take into account many variables like I'm sure many do, and reviews are definitely on top of of the list. So, when I was planning our California vacation, after a pretty exhaustive search I found Quincy La Casa which seemed to check all the boxes and decided to book it. However shortly after booking, I received a message from the host saying they had just sold the home to April and her husband and asked that I rebook through them. At the time April did not have any reviews so I was a bit skeptical about it, a big reason why I chose to book the home was because the previous owner had great reviews so was unsure if I wanted to risk having a bad experience with a new host and mentioned it to the previous owner in my reply.
Within an hour of my reply, I received a call from April. She introduced herself and let me know the previous owner mentioned to her my concern for the lack of reviews and quickly put me at ease by answering all the questions I had. The fact she had taken the time to call me was very much appreciated so I went ahead and booked the home and I'm really glad I did. Our stay at Quincy La Casa was great, the neighborhood was very nice, quiet, and safe. We planned on taking the kids to Disney and Universal so the house was also in a very central location for us. April was also kind enough to stop by when we arrived and even had some coloring books for my daughter which she really enjoyed.
The only thing I would say you should know is that since you have to parallel park on the street, parking can sometimes be a bit of an issue, mostly if you get back later in the evening. The majority of the time we had plenty of available spots in front of the house however on a couple of nights I did have to park a few short blocks away. This of course is not a ding on April, its just how parking is set up there.
Once again, overall we enjoyed our stay and would definitely love to stay there again!
