Staying in Laura Mahaffey's home was my first time in an Airbnb and it exceeded every expectation. As a host Laura immediately created a welcoming presence for my weeklong stay. Her comfortable and well-appointed home is vintage “Pasadena” and was the perfect home base for my time in the city. This has to be as good as it gets in a homestay. I’ve become an Airbnb convert because of this experience!-Stephen
