Yes Hosts were VERY responsive and warm. Everything in he house was in order and clean.
This was our second stay at this great home. It was perfect for Mark and I, and our granddaughter and her mom each had their own rooms. Our dog, Brady, loved the yard and did a lot of exploring on their back slope. It was conveniently located for us to visit our family members nearby.
We stayed here for three weeks with our two little ones and our dog while our home was under construction, and it truly felt like home. The house is warm, comfortable, and perfectly set up for family life - every detail made our stay easy and cozy. The location couldn’t be better: a beautiful, quiet area with a park right across the street and everything you need just minutes away. The host was extraordinary - incredibly helpful, communicative, and so understanding throughout our stay. You can tell they genuinely care about their guests’ experience. We couldn’t have asked for a better temporary home and would recommend this place to anyone without hesitation.

Andrea was very helpful and communicated throughout to suggest local areas to dine, have coffee, etc. and if everything was working well. Very pleased with the home, the support and experience. I would definitely stay again.
Andrea’s house was perfect for us three ladies. Access to grocery stores and the freeway made for a stress-free four days. The house was just as described, spacious, quiet and well-stocked. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again and recommend it for anyone traveling in the area.
My dogs and I had a lovely stay at Andrea's. It was quiet and peaceful but with a great backyard, but also close to a lovely park. It was warm outside while we were there, but the house stayed so nice and cool that I didn't even need to put on the AC. We can't wait to come back.
Andrea was a really attentive host. Right off the bat, we were welcomed with a really sweet welcome basket of treats and California wine! Her home was amazing, and her backyard was beautiful! Lovely market lights and patio set under a beautiful shaded tree, and so many fruit trees it felt like paradise. The home was nicely decorated and updated and felt very homey. I would definitely stay here again.
We had a lovely stay at this Airbnb. Great communication: the home was ready a little early and she let us know, we had to use an alternate check in and she let us know before hand, and a neighbor reported an issue with a sprinkler head and she had someone stop buy within hours. The home was cozy, quiet neighborhood. Beautiful backyard/view. Walking distance to grocery store and several casual restaurants with yummy food. I hope I am able to stay again as I frequent this area due to family near by. Thank you for a great stay.
Thanks for hosting! Everything was great!
My daughter and I had a great stay. Both Andrea and Kharis were so responsive to our questions and needs. We felt very welcome. The house was extremely comfortable and had everything we needed--the kitchen was well stocked, including some snacks and drinks that our hosts left for us; plenty of paper products in the kitchen and bathrooms (some hosts skimp on these, but we had plenty); AC worked well, though we didn't need it much; the beds were very comfortable, and the bathrooms were very clean and updated. My favorite spot was the back yard. It was perfect for my daughter's dog, and I loved relaxing on the outdoor furniture and enjoying the sun. If you're traveling with a dog or with young children, the park just down the street has some swings and plenty of room to run around. While the area is residential, a shopping center with a Safeway, a Starbuck's and several other small shops is just a few blocks away. I would happily return to Andrea's and Kharis's home.
