This is the type of place I imagined an AirBnB being before even starting to use the site. The trip felt more like I was staying with a family member or friend rather than a hotel. Timi’s place is eclectic, stylish, and comfortable. Timi herself has a warm, inviting personality. The energy in her home is incredibly peaceful, and Timi goes above and beyond the description of the room.
My plans for arriving in San Diego went awry at the last second. Timi was understanding and overly kind about things needing to change, and this continued my entire stay. She was overly accommodating, had great communication, and went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable with everything I could possibly want during my stay. Most of the time, she had things taken care of before I even thought of them. My personal favorite was knowing coffee would be ready when I woke up. I was in a rush leaving one morning, and didn’t think that she would have coffee waiting and ready for me to take with (which she did)!!! Classic example of what it is like staying with Timi.
The room itself is pretty standard size. The bed was firm, and there were multiple types of pillows and blankets for each type of sleeper. She has smartly arranged things in the room so that it is most effective. The open closet was perfect for my luggage. The natural lighting in the house was to die for, as was the view of nature and birds out back.
I had a busy schedule when staying here. Timi made sure to greet me, and ask how my day had been each evening. Because both of our schedules were hectic this week, we didn’t get a chance to have coffee every morning. However, the mornings we did were a highlight of my stay. Timi is a joy to get to know.
Timi does work from home, so being respectful of that is necessary. She really doesn’t ask much of those staying with her, and is very good at communication. She let me know ahead of time what her schedule would be, and let me know what she could do to acccommodate what I needed. I have already planned on staying with Timi the next time (and anticipate doing so every time after) I am in town.
