I heartily second prior reviews of Marjie and Joffrey’s place and would like to echo that it is a well-laid out, airy, stylish loft in an excellent location w great shops and eateries right below it. This is a unique bonus in the SJ area, where walkable urban areas are not common. We were here over the Thanksgiving holiday and it was really nice to be right in the middle of the holiday bustle and lights.
I want to also make a comment about Marjie and Joffrey’s truly exceptional hospitality. We have had many wonderful Airbnb stays at other homes previously, but Marjie and Joffrey really highlight the great service of this platform over other accommodation options. They thought of every detail for our stay without us making any requests— down to extra linens for family members who might be joining (we were in town for a family reunion), toys and snack treats for our toddler, even lactose-free milk! The only inquiry I had was regarding baking equipment, and Marjie without further mention, just went ahead and had all the ingredients ready as well...and I mean not just the dry ingredients—fresh eggs, butter, etc also. ‘I didn’t want you to have to go get ingredients just for one-time baking,’ she said. No hotel or ordinary rental could be so thoughtful and kind.
Finally, while this home is a loft, it really is one of the most family-friendly Airbnb’s where we have stayed. Our toddler is almost 3 and so the airy staircase was not a problem, nor the lack of doors. The bunk bed with custom staircase and lights really was a highlight and she played in there for hours (it did rain for part of our stay). There is a closet full of toys, books, and crafts in the room to keep any child entertained. M&J really went out of their way to make us feel welcome w a small child, thinking of every detail, including our child’s needs in arrival and stay. With stylish homes that really cannot be taken for granted and we were really thankful to find this oasis amid the holidays.
Thank you again for an amazing stay, Marjie and Joffrey! We hope you do not become too busy for us to be able to come back next time we are in town :)
