To start with, Esther is an absolutely wonderful host. Her communication is quick and clear, and her instructions and requirements are comprehensive so there was never any question of what needed to go where, checking in, or what we needed to do before check-out. She also really knows the area very well and provided great recommendations for things to do and restaurants. Esther's the type of host that is my personal favourite: hands-off but available, thorough yet flexible.
As for the property itself, it's the epitome of modern luxury. Marble flooring, granite countertops, hardwood stairs and second floor, multiple bathrooms and wall outlets, and plenty of storage space and general roominess. For my party of eight, it was an absolutely flawless place to stay in Rosemead.
As someone who doesn't AirBNB frequently, I'm still a little wary of the platform as a whole, but if future hosts and homes are anything close to Esther's quality then I could see myself being comfortable with it very quickly.
