Over the years of my traveling, I typically stay in hotels; however, a colleague of mine recommended I try using an AirBNB, so I figured i would give it a shot and now, I'm hooked!
To begin, booking the location was super easy and the owner of the property was very responsive. She was able to answer all of my questions I had before hand and was even able to provide me with a list of recommendations for restaurants, places to see, you name it. Access to the property was exactly as outlined on the listing. As for the house. The pictures do not do it justice! This place is absolutely adorable and offers plenty of space with a second bedroom and an office!
Cleanliness:
I didn't have a single issue here. The kitchen and bathroom were spotless and everything smells clean and fresh. The refrigerator looked as though it had never even been used, and having on site washer and dryer was a major plus!
The Space:
Upon entering the home, you immediately walk into the living room area where there is a table and chairs for four people, a very comfy couch, and plenty of space to relax. After spending an entire day at work, it was fantastic to come back here and just kick back and relax. The decor is very cute, sort of a south western retro and the space is flooded with natural light. One of my favorite bits had to be the live plants which provide a great pop of green into the space.
Right behind the living room is a cozy kitchen with another little bistro sized table. Plenty of counter top space and a nice deep sink. Everything I needed for my stay was there and fairly intuitive for finding things.
The primary or master bedroom is located on the first floor and once again is flooded with natural light. The bed is a great size and perfect firmness for me. Another great plus is that the owners do have air conditioning throughout the unit, which was great for the warm California afternoons.
The bathroom itself is actually quite large and has a washer and dryer (major bonus!). It was as clean as could be, which was fantastic, and had plenty of linens for my stay.
Next to the bathroom is a staircase that leads to a second bedroom and an office. The office was amazing for handling any last minute business or catching up on emails. I also loved the little touches with the guitar amp and the really neat old time picture collection. Another bonus to this area is if you are traveling with family and need some peace and quiet, there is a door at the top of the stairs so you can separate yourself from the other space.
Overall, this stay was exactly what I needed. It offers everything from cute outdoor areas to comfortable spaces where you and your friends or family can relax. Thank you again Jasmine for the wonder stay.
