We stayed in the front bedroom with a queen bed/ two people. This was my first air B&B experience and it was very good! The best thing about this was Tara replied through messages very promptly; I think the longest I had to wait was 20 minutes. Inside her house everything was labeled which was nice; she even put cute sayings around to get the point across. The post mentioned there will be other house mates so I assumed maybe another couple but during our 8 day stay we met 8 different people as all of the rooms were occupied. I brought my 15 year old daughter with me therefor once I found that out I was very nervous but quickly I found that I had nothing to worry about. Everyone that we met was very quiet and respectful, not to mention cleaned up their mess every time. I arrived to California earlier than check and Tara let me drop my bags off and my flight outbound was later in the day so she allowed us to stay later than noon because no one was checking in that day. These sort of things made us feel like we were at a family members house more than a business which we were very grateful for. During our stay we didn’t rent a car therefore we walked all over town and it was perfect; talk about a great escape from our usual daily routine. She also had some old beach cruisers that we took out for a day or two but since the downtown area was so busy we preferred walking. Unfortunately the cats were not there so I cannot comment on that. I think Taras place is a great get away for those looking to do some soul searching as the interior is very comforting and calm in addition she has many self help books for you to enjoy. By time I left I had made new friend with fellow travelers that also lodged at the home making this trip unforgettable. The home is very close to the airport therefor the planes flying above are very low and loud but surprisingly we never had a problem and we are light sleepers. Tara did supply free earplugs in the drawer next to the bed just in case. Furthermore she offered many free toiletries and cleaning supplies for everyone to use which can totally save a lot of space in a suit case if you want to pack light!! Even though there was no air conditioning the room never got too hot in fact we were using a comforter in the middle of June; but don’t worry there’s a fan at bedside. Thanks Tara; hope to see you again soon.
