Tom could best be described as the true embodiment of a 10 star host. Seriously, he’s the BEST host I’ve ever had BY FAR.
He’s known around LA as the Angelean AirBnB LEGEND and truthfully he’s usually booked, so if the chance is somehow available, book with him right now because it won’t be available tomorrow!
Words simply can’t express how awesome Tom is as your host. From ‘essentially unlimited European expressos, chocolates, coffee and more to the best food suggestions around town, Tom is extraordinary in his ability to make you both feel at home while still properly and comfortably introduced to the new city for your stay! He taught us the entire metro system and even drive us to the metro since we were too young to rent a car.
He’s a very well cultured man too, taking and spreading knowledge from all of the guests and friends he has met over the years while transcribing that creativity and culture into the most delicious food recommendations, conversations and dishes.
The house is exceptionally well kept and by far he exceeds all expectations with actually hosting your stay. I was so surprised to find face lotion, sunscreen and wayyy more than I would never expect from a 5 star hotel. Tom’s just way better than any hotel.
Mt. Washington itself is truly an incredible location as well. Offering the best view when waking up, a very nice pool and a massive palm tree to add that California feeling just makes the experience so much more enriching. Oh and the deliciously home grown fruits came as a great surprise to further compliment the already incredible experience.
I genuinely hope the AirBnB algorithm or Brian Chesky himself can manually give this man a 5 star rating. I’m 100% serious too. I mean just look at the other reviews!
Briefly before my stay with Tom, I watched a Y Combinator video of a conversation with Mr. Chesky and Reid Hoffman that greatly describes Tom. Chesky described the different rankings for hosts and Tom is undoubtedly a 10 star host.
Thank you for everything Tom!!
