If there was a "best of AirBNB" this place would be on it.
The amenities are better than we ever expected. Bill is as fantastic a host as one could ever ask for. If you have a question, he answered before you could even put your computer/phone down!
The location is GREAT. Quiet in the evening, close to everything, easy to get to and parking is right in front of the house every time.
The bed and pillows were REALLY comfortable. I brought my own pillow from home and didn't even end up using it!
When we showed up, Bill had left a wide selection of little snacks and treats. This was SO nice. We had just finished a long road trip and the last thing I wanted to do was get back into the car. It really was a blessing to just have a moment to rest.
The yard is very comfy for just lounging around. The pooch had a nice place to play (there were even dog toys when we arrived!) Even if you don't have dogs, don't hesitate staying here. It was VERY clean and definitely didn't smell like pets. If I hadn't known Bill accepted pets, I'd never have guessed.
There's a cute little fire pit and a BBQ with charcoal was provided. He really did think of everything.
It's a one block walk to the park, close to the zoo and Balboa. Maybe a 5 minute drive to downtown and 10 minutes to the beaches.
I can't say enough about how wonderful our stay was. If you don't book here, you're missing out.
