I had to make last minute reservations for my trip to the USA ~ very stressful but my daughter found Romina's place on Airbnb and it was a Godsend!! For me .... it was either a five star at Beverly Hills (extravagant and pricey) or the Comfort Inn (breakfast included but ... usual "Inn" quality 'up keep' ) at any random city in California .. it is very difficult to find a good 'inbetween' place to stay~ my itinerary was for 10 days and the cost for accomodations would have added up. "Perfect" place to stay is always home ~ no matter how much or how less one pays for accomodations .. nothings beats my own home. One has to make the place "perfect" for oneself. Having said that, Romina's home in Canoga Park was a place I could make "perfect" for me. Why?
1. Communication - Need something? Ask. Whenever I did, I got a quick, feel-good response from Romina. Hosts/Hostesses are not mindreaders. Good communications skills are vital for a successful Airbnb and this Romina has down pat.
2. Honesty - what one sees on their Airbnb post is what one gets. The room is clean. The private bathroom is clean. The pool is just as it is - awesome. Every amenity Romina says she has - it is there and it/they are clean. She and her family use what she offers her guests .. this says it all.
I will stay at Romina's whenever I can when I visit California. This recent trip to California was work related and having Romina's place to come back to at the end of the day was ... perfect.
