C.J. and Giang were nothing but accommodating, friendly, and both my partner and I felt welcome. It was refreshing to feel like a guest in someone's home rather than supplementary income to some absentee landlord who puts no effort into making the stay pleasant and comfortable. For that reason, I, like many, do not trust listings and go off reviews instead (check the other ones out!)
Here everything is as advertised, in fact, the images don't convey how comfortable the bed, is, how spacious the room is, or how nicely that lamp shade diffuses light throughout the room. The amenities are also as advertised; you are provided with soaps, towels, utensils, basically anything you would normally expect as a guest at a friend's place and then some because they're so committed to making sure you come away with a positive experience.
My only regret from this trip is not being able to spend more time casually chatting with C.J. and Giang. For us, talking usually involved getting some good advice on parking, restaurants and shops in the small window of time as we headed out the door. While they're very reliable for that, I can tell we'd have had a wonderful time sharing our experiences and learning more about the house and neighborhood.
From partner: Giang and C.J were both wonderful hosts throughout our stay. They also had three adorable friendly cats who visited with my partner and I. As our time there was so short I appreciated that they responded very quickly. If we’re able to I also look forward to being able to stay here again and would recommend them.
