The Island Style Spa Room with Balcony was very comfortable and affordable for our week long California visit. It was great having access to a large kitchen to cook meals and the laundry to wash clothes. The front yard and balcony are very pretty and offer a nice view for the sunset. It's per friendly, which is great, but I appreciate not running into any strange dogs while there. The self check-in was clear and easy and managing the parking went smoothly too.
Shien-Lu and Aimee were also very helpful and responsive during our stay. They helped us find items we needed and answered our questions.
The location is great. It only took ~30 minutes to get to Disneyland and there are nice restaurants within walking distance.
The toilet does have a small curtain in front of it now for privacy, but the bathtub/shower is open to the room. The host did offer the downstairs shower that has a full curtain for our use.
All the rooms are located upstairs. Do keep that in mind in case you have mobility or accessibility needs.
The host built the house herself and is working to upgrade it. She is open to guest suggestions, which I appreciate.
Wonderful extras:
- ginger snap cookies from the host
- host offered a rolling cooler we could borrow for the beach
- host offered her paddleboards to borrow
- tips from host about where to visit
- host was friendly and shared her story
- she has an AirBnB in Hawaii too!
