Casita Hermosa is so wonderful that I'm almost at a loss for words! The home was incredibly clean, comfortable, beautiful, well located, etc. I literally have nothing but good things to say!
The moment you step through the door, you'll spend the first hour just admiring how well thought out the home was designed and decorated. From the color scheme to the decor and photography (some of which was taken by Dan himself) spread across the house, the inside itself was already a sight to see.
All the comforts of home were available, from kitchenware and toiletries to linens and entertainment! The entire home was thoughtfully furnished and we immediately felt very much at home. The sleeping situation was also very comfortable. The bed in the bedroom was incredible, and as for the couch that opens up to a full-sized bed, let's just say that every single one of us knocked out cold on it at least once during the trip.
I also have a tendency not to use any outdoor amenities when I stay at Airbnb's simply because they tend to be neglected and are left covered in dirt, cobwebs, and spiders. THAT WAS NOT THE CASE AT CASITA HERMOSA. The entire outdoor patio area was perfectly clean, and all the lights were working and brought life to the patio at night. I wanted nothing more than to sit out there, eat dinner, have a few drinks, hang out with my friends, and enjoy the fire table. Unfortunately, we didn't have time to enjoy it, but if we did, I know very well I would've spent a good chunk of my time out there!
The parking situation is also quite nice! I drive a lowered car, so getting in and out of driveways is always a point of concern for me. The driveway for Dan's home was super wide with a smooth incline that made getting in and out ridiculously easy. No scraping or bottoming out here! If you can't fit all the cars into the driveway, there's also plenty of room to park out on the street as well!
Dan was amazing as well! He communicated very well, was very accommodating, and was easily approachable! We actually ran into him a couple of times and had the chance to speak with him for a bit! He's a wonderful human being with a big heart and the cutest dog I've ever seen in my life!
Casita Hermosa felt like home during our stay, and I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again when I'm back in San Diego!
