This was my first airbnb experience and I will definitely do it again based on this positive experience with my hosts. Paul and Hyobee were such warm and gracious hosts and they seem to attract friendly guests as I had a chance to meet a few of them, too.

I felt bad because I arrived shortly before midnight after driving 7 hours and they acted like this was no problem to them (I did call several times along the way to let them know of my progress). They also accommodated my need to use a land line when my cellphone was getting poor reception and I needed to make a call.

The short time I was able to spend with them (since I was attending a conference at Pepperdine) I was intrigued to learn more about their very interesting life experiences. The huge foyer has probably 50 framed photos of the hosts with many former US presidents. Hyobee's artwork is throughout the home; it is very colorful, high- texture representation of crosses, hearts and flowers. She has a lovely printed coffee table book of her artwork along with others' poetry.

The bedroom and bathroom were simply decorated and very clean with the unexpected touch of fresh flowers, drinking glasses, bottled water and free wi-fi.

I would love to return and stay again.

This is a perfect location to visit Pepperdine. The college is only about 2.5 miles away.
