I've stayed at a lot of airbnbs at this point and I have to say.. Karen is BY FAR the best host I've ever had. I can't even begin to describe how welcoming and friendly she is. Let me describe my experience.
I booked this airbnb because I was looking for an apartment in the area. When I checked in, I told Karen about this and she said casually that she knew a couple of property managers around and that we'd find me something. Oh, and she gave me a bottle of wine as a welcome present just because! (what airbnb host ever does this??) So she gave me the number of a property manager that stayed with her once. Long story short, he was considering leasing to a few other tenants but he chose to rent to me because Karen referred me. Because he liked Karen that much. Because EVERYONE likes Karen that much. So, within the week of me staying there, I had signed a lease to an awesome place in PB that I would never have found otherwise (it wasn't even listed!). I can't begin to thank Karen enough.
The few issues I had (the Garage remotes battery was out, etc) Karen was on top of immediately. She lives really close by the airbnb so she just walks over and helps out with whatever it is. She's very responsive and handles all the problems you run into with genuine care.
Thanks so much Karen!
