Steve and Lorry are the consummate Airbnb hosts. I feel so lucky that I found their little slice of heaven in Whittier.
As others have mentioned, the little house is immaculate, tranquil and cozy. As soon as I entered the house, I immediately felt at ease. I plopped on the comfy bed and immediately made myself at home.
Next to the house is a gorgeous koi pond. The fish are beautiful and I was mesmerized by their colors and patterns. Steve showed me how to hand feed them, which was quite a thrill. The koi made for a very unique stay!
The house, koi, lush landscaping and tranquil environment are all outstanding. But what really pushes this Airbnb into a whole other level of excellence is Steve and Lorry’s hospitality. They immediately make you feel at home. Personal touches like cold water and vitamin water (as well as gourmet chocolates) awaited me as soon as I walked through the front door. They also left a beautiful card with a handwritten note personally welcoming me. I was really touched by that. Their communication is fantastic…any questions I had were immediately answered in the most helpful and friendly manner.
They struck the perfect balance between being available as needed but giving me lots of space and privacy. Not many hosts are able to walk that fine line but Steve and Lorry have that down pat.
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and look forward to the day I can visit again. Six months prior to this visit, I had a negative Airbnb visit with another host that seriously made me question whether I would use Airbnb again. Steve and Lorry have restored my faith in Airbnb.
Thank you for a rejuvenating and happy visit! If you book with them, I’m sure you will be as pleased and satisfied as I was. Happy travels!
