If I could give Dodie a 10 star review, I would!
Let's just go down the list :
- Cleanliness : His place was CLEAN! And not like CLEAN CLEAN where you're afraid to touch things and get dirty/mess up but you know what I mean. It was clean in the sense of he really paid attention to details. I didn't find anything that I thought should have been cleaned better (which I usually do)
- Accuracy : The listing is exactly what you're getting! The pictures don't do it much justice, especially for the outside seating area and kitchen. It's to die for especially in nice weather. The room was the perfect size and bed was HELLA comfortable! There is also a desk and a futon but it didn't feel crowded. It was very cozy. I also really liked how he had labeled all the extra linens such as blankets to use for outdoors, towels to use for the beach, etc.
- Check In : Dodie asked me what time I was checking in and I told him that it was going to be around midnight since I had a late flight and he was okay with that. He actually was up (or maybe waited for me?) and met me with my luggage and stuff when I got dropped off by my Lyft. He even helped me bring this big ol' box I had to my room and made sure I was all situated before he left. Even at check out he was just as helpful. I told him I was going to be checking out at 4:30am since I had a 6am flight and he offered his help once again! I didn't need it but the willingness to do so AT 4:30 IN THE MORNING (on a weekday I might add) is unheard of!
- Communication : I appreciated his communication before and during my stay. He replied very quickly to my messages even though I was not as quick to reply back to him
- Location : Perfect! It's only about a 12 minute walk to the beach and not that far from Downtown SF via Lyft/Uber. I loved how it was in this cute little beachside neighborhood. This was my first time staying in Pacifica as I usually stay in Daly City but I loved it! I might have to say over here more often!
- Value : WORTH IT!
Just like the Nike phrase, JUST DO IT! Just stay here! You will not regret it! Dodie is an AMAZING host, his place is BEAUTIFUL, and you will see how high he sets the standard for other hosts once you stay here.
I will most definitely be staying here again.
