A TALE OF TWO CITIES.
For my 14 year olds birthday I decided to take him to California. Our first stop involved seeing our cousins in L.A. then we headed to the Sequoias to see the largest trees 🌲 in the world!! ❤️ . Because this was a special trip, I reserved a house on Air bnb with a heated pool for $500 a night! The view was spectacular! The house however was not! It was outdated, needed repairs, and clearly had not been deep cleaned! Ugh! I didn’t even feel comfortable taking a shower! Not to mention, the pool wasn’t heated!!! The pool itself was the main reason I rented the home! We left very disappointed. They offered a $35 credit which I still haven’t received. :(
After our stay in the Sequoias was over we headed to Yosemite National park then headed to San Francisco! And what a treat it was!!! Upon entering Jesse’s air bnb I exhaled a sigh of relief! The home is so intentional with its decor! The furnishings were super clean and functional! Every had a purpose with simplicity and style in mind! The bed was super comfortable!! And even underneath was clean! (Something which was neglected in an air bnb in Atlanta) . Once I took a shower in a squeaky clean shower I felt amazing!
The home is located in a gentrified area of Oakland minutes away from San Francisco easy access to everything with a Target 5 minutes away to pick up essentials if necessary.
The only snafu we experienced was the coffee maker not working but Jesse was so kind and attentive with her response which included leaving a bouquet of roses for the inconvenience. She made it very difficult to be upset! Ha!
Her communication was stellar throughout our stay and even beyond as we experienced a delay returning home at the airport! She has other listing on Air bnb including a beautiful home with a pool in Tulum! That may be our next trip!! ❤️
As someone who owns a cleaning company I was thoroughly impressed with the cleanliness of the home. As someone who is buying an airstream to air bnb in our own backyard I took quite a few pointers from Jesse which I will carry along with our renting venture!
Thanks again for everything Jesse! You were the best!!
