We loved our three week stay in Mike and Lori’s place so much that we booked another week in August! This was the most exquisitely and thoughtfully designed Airbnb we’ve stayed in, and we’ve been in Airbnb’s all over the country and in Europe (currently in one in Lisbon—not nearly as nice!) It’s as though the owners designed the space as a place THEY’D want to live in, with everything being much higher quality than we’ve typically found. In addition to all of the basic amenities, some of my favorite things: high quality European appliances; comfy bed, bedding, and pillows; towel warmer, heater, fog-less mirror, lovely organic shampoo/conditioner/body wash, and gorgeous, large shower (with great water pressure) in the bathroom; SHARP knives; great lighting; a lint brush; the amazing pantry/fridge items they left—sodas, juice, sparkling water, soy and almond milk, half and half, pastries, oranges and bananas, soups, crackers, popcorn, butter and eggs, olive oil, granola, biscotti, oatmeal, English muffins, jam, cheese, and a frozen quiche! They also had a Keurig with capsules, a French press with coffee, and a moka pot. And an assortment of Tazo teas. Since we were there for three weeks, we cooked fairly often and had everything we needed for simple meals. Mike and Lori even offered that if there was something we needed, e.g. spices or cooking utensils, we could borrow it from them!
Communication with Mike and Lori was great, from check-in to check out.
The apartment is in the basement of Mike and Lori’s house, but the design is such that you don’t feel as though you’re in a basement. We did hear them walking around when they were home, but it wasn’t particularly bothersome and it seemed as though they usually took their shoes off inside to minimize noise. The house is right next to a busy freeway, but I rarely heard the traffic noise. Easy walking to restaurants and shopping.
Highly recommend this place.
