We booked this place despite the fact that it had no reviews, but the images and descriptions were so compelling that I wanted to try (plus, Reinaldo was a super host for another property we had our eyes on that was already booked). The instructions and check-in went super smoothly, and Reinaldo was also kind and flexible with our check-in needs. When I entered the house for the first time, I was simply in aw of how beautifully this house was decorated!! (Obviously the pictures you see on the app are true to reality, but also don’t do the justice!) And don’t get me started on cleanness! It was sparkling clean like no other airbnb you’ve seen! Part of it is because it’s newly renovated and listed, but I believe they have an awesome cleaning team that takes care of maintaining the house!
And the house, it’s not just an Airbnb that you book to have a place to sleep a night or two while you’re visiting the area, but it makes you feel so cozy and at home that you can easily spend days there just to enjoy the place itself! You are welcomed by many great details, finishing touches, and amenities (not to mention the zen atmosphere that puts your mind at ease)! Words are simply failing me in describing how I felt when I first walked in, and how much we enjoyed our stay for the next 5 days!
Everything is brand new and high quality. From the plates and pots to towels, you can see how much effort they’ve put into equipping the house! It has a full kitchen with all the things you need (like the coffee machine), might need (like blender), and might not know you need until you do (the air fryer).
There’s a beautiful private backyard patio with tiny decorations and lighting, where you can sit for hours to work, study, or simply read. The bed was so soft and comfortable, with soft sheets and comfy pillows. They had a brand new laundry unit (washer and dryer) that you could use, located in the walk-in closet, which was super helpful and handy. We actually used it to wash our swimming suits and beach towels, without being disturbed by the loudness of the machines as they run quietly!! The bathroom is tiny but gorgeous: freshly renovated and very well designed! They have such great taste that I wish I could ask Reinaldo and the owner to design my house!!
During our stay, Reinaldo was super responsive and attentive. Anything we needed or that needed fixing, he would be on his way to help us out.
The location was the best, it’s an LGBTQ-friendly neighborhood that’s super safe and friendly, and within walking distance to Wilton Dr (we had no idea about this place before booking the Airbnb) which had an amazing vibe with SO many great food options and friendly local shops! We tried “Burger and Beer” and “Le patio”, which were both amazing experiences. The houses in the area had quirky and fun Christmas decorations that you could walk for hours without getting bored or tired!
This was a stay I will never forget. We will definitely come back (and highly recommend this place to other travelers, specially, couples looking for a relaxed getaway). ♥️
