We really enjoyed AJ as a host! The house was great and the communication was superb. AJ actually came to the location to help us turn the jacuzzi on and the house was cleaned very well when we arrived. The few cons that we experienced were the key was not in the lockbox when we arrived and we had to climb the gate to gain access to the spare key; the kitchen door was jammed and would not open; there were a few outdoor lanterns that were out; the main suite jet tub did not work and there was a fire in a nearby town the night before we arrived that resulted in ash falling from the sky. That is out of anyone's control but it would have been nice to be informed about that prior to arriving. BUT for the most part, I really recommend staying with AJ because he was very helpful and tried to get an electrician and locksmith to come fix the door and lanterns but the time was not feasible for us. The location is great and the backyard was breathtaking at night. In the event that we are back in California, this is the first place that we would book if available.
