Katie accommodated my early check-in (I'd made that my primary issue when first sending my inquiry & booking 2 months earlier and told her specifically my needs). Location is central and easy to get to as well as close to Claremont Mesa Blvd. Heading West, I found a Chinese Foot Massage place close to a Mexican Pastry Shop, Ramen Noodles, and of course there was Starbucks, Taco Bell & Denny's if you're so inclined. Claremont Coffee is the local spot. A grocery store, Smart & Final, is within walking distance. There was always a Lyft or Uber close when I needed one. Katie's listing was not detailed enough to make a perfect decision for my needs. I feel like the burden falls on a guest to read reviews to figure out if it's right for you. I read a review that the room was interior, with no window. This was going to be perfect for me, as I was attending events at night and needed to sleep during the day. Upon arriving there was actually a skylight (with no cover) so it doesn't get pitch black during the day. I was quickly assisted and rectified the situation when I asked for a brown paper bag, packing tape and a step ladder though. If you look closer you'll read quite a few reviews for the same timeframe... this is possible because 3 rooms (at a minimum) are AirBnB. It's my bad I didn't figure it out. This review is therefore to clearly define what guests can expect but I'd rather it be clearly written down by the Host. There are children (homeschooled), a dog and a cat. There are 2 permanent roommates (1 with adorable child, the other adorable dog). Katie also has a child. They were all very well behaved, considering their ages of ~ 4 & 8 - and puppy! The cat is completely chill. With so many people in the home it was disheartening to hear the puppy whining all alone instead of having it wonder around... particularly when the owner was home. Especially because I was never told there was a dog (or a dog-sitting situation); had to figure it out on my own. When the washer/dryer was over-loaded it sounded like an airplane engine; I didn't even realize the appliances were outside my door. I went back to the listing to confirm its title stated "peaceful, friendly and central". And to see if I missed info on the shared bath, dog, cat, or children. I hadn't. The only description was one line: "A great place to call home during your travels." It was presumably quiet at night but I wasn't usually there from 3 pm until after 3 am. The 8:30 am hustle-bustle came quickly (I used ear-plugs: I recommend you always travel with them; even this quiet neighborhood was awake when I was needing to sleep). As long as you know what you need everything will work out. You potentially share the bathroom with 7...
