Staying at Celeste's was a special experience. I had been to other airbnb places; some good, some less so, but Celeste's proved more than what I expected. Here is a host who truly believes that what she does is first and last about people and not just about money. This, I think, is easier said than done but Celeste does put her belief into practice. My two sons and I arrived quite late night at her house, tired and thirsty, but were greeted warmly by our host which instantly made us feel welcomed. She brought up ice water and a bowl of super delicious cherries and strawberries right after we were put into our room, which was very nice.The red room we stayed was spacious, enough for three of us, had nice antique furniture and the walls were adorned with pictures of India, Brazil, and other beautiful places our hosted visited and took picture of. The room was very clean and had a nice touch here and there- clean towels folded neatly, new soaps, and candies on the chest. During our stay, Celeste would provide us with wonderful meals if we wanted. The curry chicken and the milk black tea flavored with some Asian spices was inspiring and I had to ask for recipe. She kindly gave me that and even some of the spices she had. She was always very engaging, attentive to our needs and open minded about anything I asked for. One night, she informed me of a free chamber music concert at Palo Alto, which we did go to and just loved. We stayed 10 days at her house and before leaving she gave us a farewell dinner where we ate at the balcony deck with other guests who came from different parts of the world. We had a lot of fun that night and I will remember it for a long time. Celeste is a host who works hard to meet the needs of her guests while actually enjoy doing so. I am thankful to Celeste for having been such a great host and will definitely recommend her place to other people who's interested in airbnbing in San Jose.
