Miss Ailin's place is everything that we had hoped for and more! :)
PRO'S
1.) Communication / Travel Info: Miss Ailin was extremely nice, easy to contact, and was quick to respond. All of our Check-In and Check-Out details were super concise and had informative photos to help out. Also, within the apartment is a vast guide about the estate, local restaurants, and things to do.
2.) Location: This listing is pretty close to everything even if you are Ubering around California and are splitting the costs with a party of people. If you can definitely rent a car for a day and there is guest parking at the apartment. More importantly, the neighbor is really quiet, nice, and really safe!
3.) Accommodations: Miss Ailin's guest house has everything you could possibly need while on a trip: wifi, a tv / roku, nice towels, toiletries, a first aid kit, standard kitchen utensils / items, hair dryer, iron, a pull-out couch, and a nice comfortable bed! More importantly, the french pastries and home made jams that were left for us in the apartment were so good and made us feel welcomed! The jams were so good we were even tempted to ask if they had any extra for sale to take home as a souvenir.
4.) The Apartment / Estate Itself: The grounds on which apartment are tranquil and peaceful with it's small gardens and small pond with fish. We wish we had more time to had sit outside and just meditate. There is even a nice little outdoor porch with beautiful flowers were you can chill out and enjoy the mountains in the back. The apartment was really clean and cute within, so no complaints there. We really felt at home!
5.) Puppy Love: Malabar is the cutest and most awesome dog! We were so happy to be greeted by her everyday we came to and from the apartment. Even if you aren't a dog person, you will be sure to love her!
CON'S
NONE!!! :)
I would recommend Miss Ailin's guest apartment to anyone in heartbeat! We will definitely plan to stay here again next time we visit California! :)
