There are many expensive hotels to stay in between Lancaster and Palmdale. I come down once every two months and find it too expensive for just myself.
Enter Airbnb: the rooms in Carmen’s home are very clean, quiet, and comfortable. The neighborhood is quite safe and quiet. I had a mini fridge, a little hot water machine and a very clean bathroom shared with the other boarder. You can’t beat the price and I slept like a baby.
What was best about this, you ask? I’ll tell you.
I was stuck on the road due to construction and rolled up at 12:15, not 9:15 as I previously thought. I was concerned about tromping through her house at that hour. Rather than being annoyed (which would have been understandable), she was concerned about my safety as a woman traveling solo. She was truly warm and gracious.
I would happily stay with her again if she has a vacancy when I return to Lancaster.
