What a fantastic overall experience we had with Sean! Let me preface my review with the context this was a family trip with active children for those looking for a great, central location to explore the surrounding LA area. We are frequent airbnb travelers with a vast array of owners and properties encountered. I believe it's important to start with Sean and how amazing he was to deal with. We booked our stay knowing COVID would be unpredictable and went in early into our booking with Sean with transparency about the fluidity of our situation (having grandparents with us). Sean began the relationship with outstanding communication and when we did make a hard decision to adjust our booking dates, he was so flexible and accommodating to our situation. It gave us such peace of mind to have stayed in touch and honest about what was happening, his follow through was impeccable. For those who have dealt with less than ideal owners and bad communication, you understand what kind of stress it introduces into your stay. For those who haven't, you should understand the value that Sean brings to this property and be thankful the airbnb community has owners like Sean! Thank you Sean for being not only a hospitable host but simply a genuine, good person!
The property itself delivered on exactly what we were looking for! Outside space, sleeping arrangements, and location were on point to the listing. Glendora offered a more 'small town' feel but with great proximity to great California destinations. We did it all from the Pacific to Mt Baldy, this home base for us was exactly what we needed for our 3 week rental. The home is walkable to 2 great playgrounds and downtown Glendora, couldn't ask for much more. Sean's listing notes his work space in the garage but never once did we even notice and to be honest, it was nice to say hello when we did run into each other!
Overall, it was a 5 star experience! I was excited to write up this review for other families who may be considering the home to rent to encourage them to book. Please do and have full confidence. We are already missing sitting on the front patio looking at the mountains! Hope to be back next winter to escape the sarrows of a Chicago winter!
