This was my first AirBnB experience and I must report that it has been a secure, reassuring, and great experience through and through. This home is in a great location where it is close to the promenade and to the beach, but also gives you the quaint feeling of being in a local everyday neighbourhood in California. I'm from a big city so I particularly appreciated the walkability factor of the home, and a well-designed spacious loft-style space. There were no issues with parking, check-in, check-out, etc,. The house was my favourite as Calvin has filled it with quality appliances, specialty custom counter-tops and fixtures. The space has a lot of charm and character in the most unassuming way. The floating stair case, exposed wood ceilings, and myriad of books on food, culture, music. The bed is quite unique in its design but comfortable. The bathroom was a good size and complemented your private space well. Calvin was informative and helpful. I felt comfortable right away as he was friendly, personable, reliable and very kind. He was not only there to answer questions about the area, things to do, etc., but also very knowledgable about the California lifestyle (health, fitness, nutrition, sports). I really hope your experience booking with AirBnB is as easy-breezy as mine, and that you enjoy your stay in this unique home with a hospitable host.
