The room is nice: large, well-furnished, has a mini fridge, and microwave, electric kettle, and complimentary tea, coffee, and a basket of fruit, also soft drinks in fridge. Very nice touches such as tissue, and bottled water were appreciated.
I never met John, but his housemate lent me a bowl and fork to heat my microwave meal in and eat it with. The patio area is very nice. The neighborhood is nice, safe, and quiet. The suite is walking distance to a large shopping center with everything you need and want including 24hr Walgreen's (drug store), mega discount stores, shops and restaurants galore, banks, Trader Joe's and Safeway, and much more.
John very graciously allowed me to check out late since my next place was not available right away. This was very helpful. Thanks, John.
Downside: Bathroom had ants in it. Not infested, perhaps, but each time, I saw a few here and there; they come in from the cracks in the tiles. The shower is teeny-tiny and the shower head shoots out too far for you to stand under it, making it hard to get under the water. It hits the opposite wall instead of coming straight down on you, and there just isn't the space to move to where it hits. Also, the shower had a few hairs in it as well as a hair clot stuck in the drain. That stuff gives me the willies. The washer/dryer are only allowed for stays of more than a week which is a shame because most AirBnb guests travel light and need to wash clothes more often.
Otherwise, nice place with plenty of privacy.
