If there's a sweeter spot and a more awesome host than Jean, you'll never talk me into it.
I was asked at the last minute to go to CA for a work trip. With most of the hotels in the area booked I turned to airbnb where the photos and reviews of Jean's place had me requesting a stay at her place as quickly as I could. I couldn't have had a better experience, the only sad bit is that eventually I had to leave.
Jean's place is super styling and perfectly restorative. It's set a little off the beaten path nestled in among the surrounding farms and wineries, and so there's a real feeling of being of being out in nature, California style.
Jean herself is just awesome. She is engaging and inspiring, and seems to have a really good sense of when and how to interact with her guests and when to give them time to themselves. No review would be complete without a little shoutout to Bella the sheepdog, who greeted me every morning and every evening, and eased the sting of missing my own pups back home.
Anyway, I can't wait to get back to California and this time I won't have to think twice about where I'll stay... California or bust? For me it's Jean's place or bust!
