As someone who had never before been to California coming on her own for an internship, I had no idea what to expect when I reserved my place at Sandy's. What I found was a host who was kind and generous beyond belief, a home that exceeded all expectations of beauty and cleanliness, and a friendship with Sandy that I cherish. I feel so tremendously lucky to have been her (current) longest guest and to have gotten the chance to spend time with her, hear her stories, and soak in the overwhelming beauty of her house. Each morning I was greeted with delicious muffins and each day she gave me tremendous recommendations for places to go and things to do during my down time while also shepherding me to the grocery store or providing me with free tickets to the County Fair out of the goodness of her heart. The amenities she provided were exactly what I was hoping for and Stella the French bulldog is an absolute gift. I would recommend Sandy's place for anyone looking for a stay above and beyond what one would imagine an AirBnB experience can be and I hope that anyone who chooses to stay in her house knows how lucky they are.
