I stayed three nights in Barry and Van-Martin's incredibly beautiful guest house while I attended a convention in Pasadena. It was such a delight to come "home" at the end of each day to such a thoughtfully designed, comfortable, peaceful retreat! The charming indoor/outdoor space and lovely little backyard on either side of bedroom and living area are designed for maximum privacy and are a lovely treat for the senses. As a woman traveling alone, I felt very secure and I enjoyed my stay immensely.
Add to that my hosts' lovely hospitality: wine, champagne, fresh fruit, breakfast essentials, sweet and salty snacks... They checked on me everyday via text... I wanted to for nothing! Can't wait to come back for another visit!
Thank you Barry and Van-Martin for making my first Airbnb experience a wonderful one... you've set an extremely high standard for the rest!
