This was my first AirBnB experience and I'm hooked! Sir Jim is a great host and his house is big, beautiful and super clean!
He greeted me with great energy and had towels ready, my own room/wing of his house, bed made, snacks and smoothies galore, my own bathroom/shower, parking space, you name it...he had it covered!
Great guy...we even went out one night to eat and another night to check out a local artists' performance. Awesome! Oh...and don't let me forget the Super Car Show he participated in as well as invited me to which was amazing as well! Felt more like I was staying at a good friends house than renting a room. And when I needed/wanted some private time to sleep/think...Jim was never intrusive!
And if you are shy of pets...Jim has a cat but when he says the cat is shy...UNDERSTATEMENT! Lol I barely saw his cat the whole time I was there.
In other words...if you are thinking about could Jim be the one to host your stay in California...act like Nike and "JUST DO IT"! I won't stay anywhere else unless Jim is already booked and won't let me sleep in the garage! Lol P.S. Ask him about his days as a Car and Motorcycle Racer...this guy is legendary! :)
