When I read the other reviews for this place before booking, I was cautiously optimistic and looking forward to seeing if the place looked like the photos or what about it made so many people say it was the best Airbnb they have ever seen. Not sure where to start because there is so much wonderful to share about this place. I was so impressed that I had to message Todd (host) within my first few hours because we were just in complete awe and reverence of this space that has been masterfully crafted, curated, designed, forged, and imagined. You will feel lucky it is being shared with you. Good energy. Please do not stay here if you treat your Airbnb homes like rental party dumps were all is for you to consume and abuse. Please only book if you appreciate art, travel, cultures, colors, and brilliant design and will treat with care. It is spacious, has good natural lighting and airflow, and the lighting possibilities at night are a photofile's dream. Kitchen is well stocked with all equipment needed to prepare and serve a meal (with a Fiestaware collection on display to rival any collection I’ve ever seen)! The bed in the Zen Den room was really comfortable, dressed in high-quality linens and a dreamy pillowtop. Note there is only 1 television in the house and it is located in one of the bedrooms. Very cozy for a midday or nighttime movie snooze, but this really isn't the kind of house for binge TV. This is a place for provoking thought, reading, conversation, reflection, being. There is ample seating with so many inviting spots throughout the house and outside it is hard to choose. And I haven't even started on the property itself! The first night we were there, we arrived around 4:30 and after being awestruck touring the interior, wandered out to the communal gardens outside. Old-growth succulent and cacti, flowering bushes and grasses, tropical plants, vegetable patches and fruit trees (I observed apricot, fig, apple, persimmon, pomegranate, lemon, orange & pear). We ran into Todd as we sat at one of the garden tables and he encouraged us to pick any fruits, veggies or flowers we wished to enjoy (SO KIND!). Positioned within the gardens are sculptures/installations and handcrafted upcycled seating areas, as well as statues and ornaments. It is all very deliberate and tastefully done, not tacky or whimsy style. And this was just the outside communal garden. The Airbnb until itself has its own private outdoor dining table, bar, lounge area, and (soon!) an outdoor shower. We didn’t discover this huge charming outdoor space until the first morning, as we opened the door in the Zen Den (hoping we weren’t being snoops), only to reveal an entire outdoor living space. We spent most of the rest of the time out there, popping in just for refreshment. I could go on and on and will be talking about this space for a while, but this is hands down one of the best places I’ve every had the privilege to stay.
