My friend and I booked our stay because we wanted to visit Monterey, Gilroy, and Morgan Hill. Our goal was as many Farmer's Markets as possible. This was a good location for us. Good farmer’s Market in Morgan Hill and Monterey!
Our hosts, Anna and Naresh, were so gracious and sweet. They welcomed us into their home, introduced us to their family. If you stay, you must have breakfast with them…good food! Anna has lots of chickens for fresh eggs and an orange tree for fresh juice. I have chickens so it was nice for me to have fresh eggs and not store bought. Anna is conscious of food quality and uses a lot of organic foods and I like that.
The room was nice and big. There is one queen bed and one queen futon in the room with plenty of space for your stuff. I noticed a bookcase with games and books but we didn't have time to check it out. There is a mini fridge, microwave, coffee maker and I think a toaster for use in the room with a little dining table and plenty of disposable plates, bowls, and utensils. The bathroom is nice and big, double sink, and a big shower stall…room for two getting ready for the days adventures and not feeling crowded. Outside the room is a little table and chairs along with a swing bench, very nice area to sit at the end of the day and enjoy the breeze.
If you really like animals you should stay here (my friend is not animal person and she liked it too) because it is just like staying on a mini farm with pigs, guinea hens, a duck, lots of chickens, and Vinnie the sweet little dog…also is a cat but I didn’t meet her. The animals and land were a highlight for me because I grew up with animals. Not to worry, it is quiet except for the occasional whinny of the horse next door, the call of the guinea hens and a few crows from the rooster…but nothing to disturb sleep or just a peaceful sit on the shady porch in the evening. The animal pens are clean so no "barnyard" smell.
If Anna offers wine or Sangria…you must accept, she has good taste in wine and makes an excellent Sangria!
Had an awesome experience for our first ever Airbnb stay and we plan to visit Anna’s place again when we go back to that area.
