Crystal and Bobby were very nice hosts and extremely welcoming when I arrived. My immediate first impression was that their house is very comfortable and lovingly decorated.
My Overall Experience was a solid “A”. See below for more details.
Whether I'm on a working or personal trip, my priorities are generally the same, especially in SoCal. The items most important to me are (1) Bed, (2) Bath, (3) Temperature, and (4) the Overall Experience.
The Bed was an “A”. Very comfortable and spacious, and the whole bedroom and house were nicely decorated and maintained. It made for a very relaxing stay.
The Bath was an “A-”. Great water pressure and all the amenities, including good quality towels. The only downside was the bathroom was of an older design, and while cute, there were a few items that could use an upgrade, although they all worked fine. Hence the “A-”.
The Temperature was a “A-/B+”. In this case, there was no in-room AC (which isn’t necessarily a problem), but the central AC temp was kept comfortable and there was an excellent ceiling fan which kept the air flowing and the room pleasant. That plus the location in the hills I’m sure helped the overall comfort level.
All things put together yielded a solid “A”. I hope their calendar is free when I’m due to work in SoCal again. Thanks Crystal and Bobby!
