Nestled in a lovely and quiet residential district an easy few minutes drive from the village of Claremont and the 5C colleges, this poolside casita is an absolute delight. It is impeccably maintained, with a well supplied kitchen, high-end bedding, and attention to every detail. The casita is inside a walled property, next to a fantastic pool — cool and deep, surround edge by pomegranate and citrus trees, grass, and a small garden — and though it shares a property with Marcella and Ben, it is very private. I had all kinds of plans to do some touristy things in the area, but found this Airbnb so peaceful and beautiful, that I spent my days doing nothing more ambitious than reading by the pool and poking around the charming village of Claremont, where there are excellent restaurants, cafes, and shops. There are also several hiking trails within a few minutes drive, and the property is convenient to the interstate.
From the time I booked my stay to my departure, communication was clear, gracious, and timely. I loved my stay - I was in town because I was dropping our daughter off for her first year at Scripps, and I hope it works out that I can stay here every time I am in town.
