I admit, this being my first airbnb, my initial thought as I triple checked the address upon pulling into the driveway was "this is someone's house, and I'm totally late". I'll admit that I left home in a blizzard that delayed my flight, but you wouldn't have seen anything but kindness from Pui and her husband as they explained the amenities before leaving me to the same privacy you would expect at any hotel.
This isn't a hotel room to be certain —and it's no hostel—this is something new, something different. Like finding a local chocolatier tucked away in a storybook neighborhood. Only so many will take that seemingly-awkward first step into a strangers home for a couple nights, and yet here you find that you'll not only find comfort and privacy as you would a hotel, but the same touch of luxury that are reserved for the pricy suites on the top floors. Perfect temperature control. Huge smart tv with every channel. Beautiful pool. Elegant bathroom. And a completely private entry with a space in the driveway. Perfect for the Silicon Valley businessman. I only met my hosts in person for a brief time before they left me to my privacy, but they were never beyond a quick text to the airbnb app if I needed to borrow an iron, for instance. Truly, a perfect mix of privacy with the peace of mind that they had my back if I needed. Highly recommended.
P.S., these people must be professional interior designers, because this house is gorgeous!
