Francisco and Robie were so welcoming and have such a lovely home. Everything was beautifully and artfully decorated. They made us feel personally welcomed with a welcome note and a bottle of nice Spanish wine. The flat was spotless; everything brand-new and impeccably clean. So full of character and art. Every corner, every wall, every inch of the flat has something stoning to look at. Just sitting anywhere is entertaining because your eyes travel to so many details. As it is well described in the Airbnb listing, this flat preserves all the beauty and character of the old times, but it so updated with top notch appliances and amenities that you also enjoy all the conveniences and comfort of modern living. It is a ground floor unit and that was so convenient for accessibility. I stayed with my 80 years old mother and we both appreciated that there were absolutely no steps to climb. Bringing groceries from the parking to the apartment was easy and seamless. As it is also described in the listing, at times we felt the rumor of the steps of the occupants above us; but it never bothered us at all; it was nothing different from what you hear in any wooden building in any urban setting. It was plenty tolerable. WIFI was strong, fast and perfectly reliable for office work. I did not want to leave the place. It was a truly memorable experience and I'll come back to La Guarida or any other of Francisco's listings next time I am in the Bay Area.
