Everytime I reserve an Air BnB, I always have a bit of anxiety before I get there. Of course you see pictures, compare properties, read descriptions, etc. but you never fully know what you're going to get until you walk in.
EVERYTHING about this stay exceeded our expectations!
Our host, Carlos, provided clear, detailed instructions for check-in / check-out. He was also very responsive when we had trouble turning on the TV (it was too high tech for us!) and he was even willing to Facetime to show us how to work it!
The inside of the home was beautiful, spotless, and much better than the pictures. The two full baths and awesome showers were also a bonus!
There is also a reserved parking for your vehicle (a little tight, but we had an SUV). We rented a car so we can explore the whole Bay Area - I encourage you to do so as it made our life so much easier! We went to a concert in San Jose, took pictures on top of Twin Peaks, drove down Lombard Street, ate at Fisherman's Warf, took an Alcatraz tour, visited the Japanese Tea Garden, people watched in downtown Berkeley, checked out the Redwoods in Muir Woods, walked across the Golden Gate Bridge, and ate lots of awesome food! We heard horror stories about parking/traffic in the Bay Area, but the rental car was a perfect choice.
Though we got to do and see A LOT, our best memories were at the condo!!!
We stayed for 5 nights and slept with the sliding doors open to fall asleep hearing the waves splash against the shore! (The area is very safe too).
In the morning, we would wake up, sit on the deck, drink coffee and WATCH WHALES!!! 3 of the 5 mornings we saw Whales actively jumping in/out of the water.... from the deck! It was so cool!!
We couldn't have dreamed of a better spot and will certainly stay here again when we visit the Bay Area.
Thanks for everything, Carlos!
