This was our first-ever use of Airbnb, and we were thoroughly pleased—both with the service itself and with the place we chose to stay for a week. Frank and Albert have created a cozy, charming hideaway in the hills above Eagle Rock. Our first glimpse of the tropical patio outside the front door let us know that we were far away from the snow and ice of New York. What a treat! And every inch of the cunningly designed interior was put to good use. The place was luxuriously quiet, the bed comfortable, the kitchen well-appointed (they’d even gifted us with a bottle of wine and some fruit!), and all was exactly as pictured on the Airbnb website. No unpleasant surprises. Plus, Albert and Frank were delightful, welcoming hosts; they met us with big smiles when we arrived and, later, gave us a tour of the amazing magical kingdom they’ve created on the rest of their property. We’ll be back! And we plan to become Airbnb regulars.
