Best AirBnB experience ever! I usually do not choose Airbnb for business travel, but the hotel rates in Silicon Valley can be so insane that I decided to give it a try for a 3 night stay when working in Los Altos last week. I had initially approached another property that was already booked, so the manager pointed me to Casita Aloha, assuring me that I couldn't go wrong. I had indicated that cleanliness was at the top of my list, in addition to location, nice amenities and so forth.
The minute I opened the door, I was just delighted. Casita Aloha is as nice, or nicer, than the photos. It's a new construction and beautifully laid out, appointed and decorated. Top of the line kitchen and bathroom appliances and fixtures. Clean and fluffy towels, really comfortable king bed and everything you need to make coffee or a full meal. The owners had left me a gift, with a welcome note, on the counter and made sure that I had freshly ground coffee for the morning.
I arrived late and left early the first couple of days so I did not see the owner, Deneice, until my last day as the family puts a high priority on giving their guests complete privacy. We talked about all of the great renovations and their wonderful back yard space. She is super friendly and helpful, and loaned me her bike for a great ride around Mt. View. There were even 2 cupcakes waiting for me on my counter when I got back.
I enjoyed a couple of quiet evenings in, and appreciated having access to Netflix. Mt. View is such a cute town, with great coffee places and restaurants. It was only 2 miles from my office, so everything was really convenient.
Thank you Kevin, and thanks again Deneice, for making my visit absolutely terrific.
