Super host indeed! Wow, my stay at Carina's raised my expectations of all Airbnb's. Like staying in a good hotel with a world class concierge. Self-check-in was easy & convenient, the house has a name so you can't miss it. The room is very nice, spacious, clean, has a modern feel, comfortable bed with good pillows (in contrast, I'm now suffering on mattress I just bought), nice white linens, clean bathroom with shampoo & conditioner, towel & slippers (!), provided. There is free parking in the driveway, which is so rare in Pasadena.
Most of all, the kindness & attention I received was unexpected. Carina replied to all my emails within minutes, and solved all my problems & non-problems. When I complained about being able to enter the narrow driveway to park, Robert parked it for me. Then when I complained again about scratching their house with my car :(, Carina gave me excellent alternatives for parking on the street. (Need to get overnight & daytime permits at a kiosk at a fire station nearby, and use a side-street, where parking is still restricted during the day - that's Pasadena for you.)
Finally, when I checked out a day early, they gave me a refund of the last day -- that was not at all mandated, and so kind & appreciated. The experience was a pleasure. I wish Carina & Robert all the success in their lives, they really deserve it.
