I can't say enough about my stay at Sami's. He is the immaculate host and an ambassador for both San Diego and Airbnb.

This was my first experience booking with Airbnb and Sami was kind and patient while gently guiding me throughout the process with responsive emails and helpful tips.

Once booked, he then asked me what type of experience I wanted and generously provided plenty of spots and information that met all my interests before we arrived. It was clear that he took the time to consider our conversation and carefully thought about his suggestions, instead of simply providing me a Yelp list. His suggestions, in great part, contributed an even better weekend than I had hoped.

As for his accommodations, it was exactly as represented. It was cool and eclectic, restful while interesting. The loft was generous in amenities (I truly appreciated, though didn't take enough advantage of, the invitation to his well-stocked bar) and permitted us full use of his appliances (including his washer and dryer!) It was worth every penny and a better value than any hotel with the same offerings.

As a host, Sami was responsive and checked in when it was time to give us more information, thus preventing an overload of information on the front end of our stay. For example, he provided the combination to the lock box only when we were in front of it and needed the information. Same with our departure; he checked in with us that morning and made sure that all was ok before helping us check out. All very much appreciated!

To recommend Sami's is an understatement. Though it was my first experience booking through Airbnb, it was not my first experience staying at an Airbnb and Sami has definitely set the bar for all future experiences. Thanks to Sami it will be a lot harder to earn those 5 stars by my future hosts! However, the next time I'm in San Diego there will only by one host I'd consider. Thanks again for everything Sami!
