Terrible trip, awful time the worst accommodations possible. When asked by Air BnB to comment on my experience my first impression was to respond in a negative manner, but that would have been pure selfishness on my part, wanting to keep this gem to myself! In truth my experience was nothing less than terrific!
On a recent trip to Pasadena CA to visit family, not wanting to be a burden I decided to make other lodging arrangements for myself and my son. Having heard of air BnB through casual conversations with other travelers I decided to explore Air BnB. On their website I found a place in the Pasadena area near my relatives that seemed to meet my needs; one bedroom with private bath. What I got was so much more. In addition, I was afforded use of the entire first floor of this lovely Craftsman style home, use of the yard, parking and laundry. If that wasn’t enough our host, Laura, provide us with breakfast foods, fresh fruit and coffee every day.
Laura proved to be a lovely, gracious and patient person, we arrived at midnight 12 hours late due to a flight cancellation and we were still greeted with a smile. She also provided us with endless information on where to dine, shopping and local attractions.
As I said this was my first experience with Air BnB and it has certainly set the bar high for others that may follow.
If your travel plans include the Pasadena or Los Angeles CA area I highly recommend that you give Laura a call and if you’re lucky she will be able to accommodate you. I know I certainly will!
