We'd give Chantal's place 6 out of 5 stars if we could! My boyfriend and I recently stayed at Chantal's lovely rancho getaway as an escape from NYC. We couldn't have felt more at peace or comfortable. Her home is situated on a quiet block and the AirBNB is tucked away behind a heavenly Koi pond (which puts you to sleep with it's sounds at night... we miss having this in NYC!). It is an ideal size for two people, with an open living area / kitchen and cozy bedroom / bath. Chantal decorated it very nicely, with personalized, artful touches. The apartment is fully stocked, with everything you need in the kitchen and an array of bath supplies. Lastly, the home features your own private pool that is surrounded by carefully tended plants and flowers. It's super sweet.
Last and not least, Chantal is a top-notch, classy host. She welcomed us with a tour and even left out goodies and wine for our arrival. She was quick to answer if I had a question about the area or rancho and her warmth made us feel at home.
We will stay again in a heat-beat next time we are in town! Thank you, Chantal.
