My three friends and I stayed at Marina's lovely home last week for 4 days and it was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!! They made our first AirBNB experience a great one. The place was immaculate and is exactly what you see in the photos. What cannot be photographed is how cozy and hospitable Marina has made the place. It truly feels like home away from home. As soon as we arrived we were greeted with hugs and given a tour of the property. She even set up our beds in the living room though we insisted on doing it ourselves, Marina was not having it:)

The kitchen was stocked with coffee, tea, cream, sugar, water, fresh fruits, and Ukrainian sweets. She even gave us access to her fruit trees in the backyard. Since her house was connected to the property she made herself completely available to us. We visited her home and chatted for a bit and of course Marina would not let us leave empty handed.

The bathroom was great. It was staged like the ones in those fancy hotels. It was stocked with towels, soaps, shampoos and conditioners.

The bedroom was spacious and from what I heard quite comfortable. My other friend and I slept in the living room since the couch and ottoman converted to twin beds. Extremely comfortable. We slept like babies. The place was very comfortable for 4 people.

Checking In/Out was extremely easy. We arrived around 9pm to check in and Marina stayed to greet us.

The Flat Screen and Directv access was a double bonus.

I was originally worried about the location, but it is super close to the Caltrain (2min walk) and the Bart station (10 mins walk) which both take you into the city. Also, the airport is like 4 minutes away, so that is a plus for checking out. It is also nice to come into a small town after the sensory overload of being in San Francisco.

Lena was extremely helpful with all of her recommendations, whether it was food, things to do, transit information, she is a great resource. She is also the main contact. She was extremely prompt responding to all my questions. On our last day there Lena took time out of her busy schedule as a working mom to drive out to see us. Needless to say more hugs and laughs.

When we checked out at 5 am Marina met us outside to give us goodbye hugs. So stinking sweet!

This mother and daughter duo was amazing. If we are ever back in San Francisco this will be our first and only pick. I would honestly rearrange my future travel dates to accommodate the availability of this place. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. You wont regret it.

Happy Travels:)
