Masha showed great hospitality from the moment we booked our reservation. My family was visiting California for the holidays and were new to airbnb. Her beautiful artsy home was clean and comfortable. She graciously offered the use of her kitchen and other ammenities. Hot tea and juice greeted us along with a mysterious black cat that was rarely seen. Staying at her home added to our vacation experience in that she is relatively close to everything and has an outstaninding roof view. I recommend Marsha to others who want to feel at home while away from home!
