Tom is hands down the most friendly and gracious host I have ever stayed with at any AirBnb in the world. Not to mention, the VIEWS from his place are STUNNING. AND, I thought I was just renting a bedroom, but it ended up being a bedroom and an office and a bathroom with a bathtub in a separate part of his house. So unlike many AirBnb rooms in someone's home, I had totally privacy. We shared the kitchen and patio, and I felt totally comfortable doing so. He cleans the place well and takes pride in making sure my stay was fabulous. The neighborhood is nice, great for walking and biking, just 1 mile to the grocery store, yoga, cafe, etc.He helped me with errands, drove me all the way to the other side of the island and back, allowed me free use of anything in his kitchen and beach toys in his garage, and more. I had to extend my stay and he was more than happy to accommodate. I've truly made a life long friend with my new Uncle Tom!
