We stayed in Alma‘s Airbnb for 5 days in August 2022. We were there on vacation and to visit family in Chula Vista. Alma was an amazing host from our very first encounter with her a month & a half prior to our stay). She was very responsive to all of our messages and questions. While we were visiting Chula Vista, she gave excellent recommendations for restaurants, nail salons, stores, and even a link to the nearest Catholic Church (per our request). Since we had to check out by 10 AM from our previous Airbnb in L.A., we got into town earlier than expected & had with us some perishable food items. Alma was so kind to give us the door code & she allowed us check in a little earlier, so that we could drop off our (refrigerated) items and go out to have some lunch.
The house is very cute with a nicely landscaped front yard. It is in a nice, quiet & well-established neighborhood. The neighbors were all very friendly and quiet. There is a long driveway with plenty of space to park.
When we walked in, the house was nice and cool. Alma had gone ahead of our arrival to turn the AC on for us. The first thing we noticed about the house was that it was extremely clean and very cutely decorated.
She left snacks for us & a nice bottle of wine. There’s a coffee pot, toaster and a very clean refrigerator/freezer. It had plenty of clean towels, lots of pillows, and even extra blankets for us to use. The air conditioning unit in the front room seemed to be new and did a really nice job of cooling the entire living room, dining area and kitchen. We did however notice that the 2 back bedrooms got a little warm the first night. We messaged Alma in the morning to ask if she had a fan we could borrow. She immediately responded and showed up within a couple hours of sending her the message, with a brand new oscillating fan. We placed the fan in the hallway so that it would draw the cool air from the living room into the back rooms. It worked like a charm and we never had a problem keeping the back rooms cool the remainder of our stay! The beds were very comfy. Everything was very clean even the floors. We had such a nice time that we definitely plan to stay in her home again the next time we visit Chula Vista, CA. Thank you Alma for you’re kind and generous hospitality. You are a wonderful host & you definitely went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable for us. Thanks for helping make our visit to C.V. a wonderful one! We hope you will have us back again in the future.
