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 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.

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.
