This was my first experience with airbnb and Tim made sure we had a wonderful experience. He's a kind, thoughtful and gracious host, who didn't mind sharing conversations or meals. Tim makes you feel right at home. The pictures of his home don't do it justice. It's so spacious and full of light. The modern furnishings and original artwork seem like they've jumped from the pages of a magazine. The bedroom suite has a large walk-in closet to keep your things. The attached bathroom had plenty of space for two to share the mirror when getting ready. Fresh towels and a basket of toiletries are ready for those who may have forgotten something. There is a tv in the bedroom but we didn't use it. The bedside lamp had a dimmer switch which was a nice touch as I was trying to read while my daughter slept. Tim provided a map of the area with helpful information. There are major stores close by; and it's a quick hop on the freeway to get around town.

Our main destination was a concert downtown. The venue was wonderful but beware of the valet parking. Our car was nowhere to be found when the concert ended and we were stranded downtown until we called a cab ($20 ride) to take us to Tim's house. We were unable to retrieve our car until the following evening. It's a common occurance according to the policeman and taxi driver. This is absolutely no reflection on our stay with Tim. Just a bit of advice for those who aren't familiar with the area. Make sure the valet you choose is associated with the event you are attending. Ours, unfortunaely, was for a restaurant at the opposite end of the block, which was only open 5-9 p.m. We told the valet where we were going but he didn't tell us his hours. Our mistake for assuming.

Oh, I almost forgot the best part....you won't find a better night's sleep than at Tim's. The sheets were luxurious and the mattress was a dream. Slept like a baby. Thanks Tim!!!
