I only have wonderful things to say about Izzy’s Airbnb. It was a last minute booking for a last minute ‘meet in the middle’ trip for me, my son, and our dog. Booking was exceedingly easy, communication was immediate and clear, and dogs are welcome travel companions at this stay! One of the best parts of booking was that there weren’t a bunch of hidden fees that suddenly turn a $100 stay into a $350 stay. It was straightforward, clear, and affordable. In fact, I was so surprised by this anomaly of straightforwardness and affordability that I was expecting something to go wrong but contrary to my cautious expectations - the surprises just kept getting better! The space was much larger than I expected. There was plenty of room for my son and I to have complete privacy with a day bed in the dining/ lounge area. The bedroom is a completely separate room with complete privacy if desired. We didn’t have time to cook on this trip but the kitchen is very spacious and well stocked with pots, pans, plates, utensils, and such if cooking is possible on the next trip. Something worth mentioning is the amazing availability of various ways to make coffee and numerous kinds of coffee that Izzy provided. What a treat to wake up to! The bathroom was also stocked with nice, natural products that far exceeded my expectations of the usual stay.
The place is decorated in a fun, colorful way with awesome art all around. Izzy is a very friendly and intuitive host- giving the perfect amount of support or privacy to each guest. She was also very flexible with us and willing to cater to reasonable needs. I highly recommend this stay as it’s a comfortable, convenient, and incredibly rare value for the Bay Area. I’ll definitely be back in the future!
