Shannon’s beautiful home was one of the loveliest Airbnb’s we have had the pleasure of staying at. Her spotless home was even better than advertised — aside from the beautiful views, the amazing backyard and deck with grill, the incredibly comfortable beds and super speedy internet, there was also pretty much every kitchen tool you can think of, heated Japanese-style toilets, an enormous gym, a fantastic sound system that linked to every room (inc kitchen), and wonderful games and books. Really couldn’t have asked for more. Shannon was incredibly communicative and addressed every question we had super promptly. Waking up each morning in this home (with a proper office in the master bedroom) to the cool seaside breeze and then having tea at the large size kitchen table overlooking the green hills and beautiful trees with hummingbirds zooming about was truly invigorating (and we were working full time, not even on vacation)! It was so close to the city that there was no issue at all commuting into the Financial District, but boy did I look forward to coming back to Shannon’s lovely home every evening. The neighborhood is small and friendly, and in just one week we got to know the local barista as well as the guys at Oceana Market’s meat counter quite well. One can’t help but want to relax and take things at a slightly slower pace here. Cannot wait to return!!
