Tranquil Home in Beautiful Setting

CindyRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

My family came into town for my graduation and had this place booked. Gina was very helpful and responsive. We were having trouble finding a spot to have a grad party/dinner but Gina provided us with a couple of options and from those, o was able to get a reservation. When we checked in, the house was really clean and Gina had put up a banner congratulating me on my graduation! She also had donuts, cereal, snacks, milk and juice in the fridge! We weren’t sure if the previous occupants left the milk and juice but they were both unopened and fresh. My mom also needed a flat iron but we found that the iron wasn’t in the spot that Gina had mentioned, so at about 9:00PM, I texted Gina and she responded in less than 5 minutes! She gave directions on where it could be but since it wasn’t in the house, Gina went and bought a new iron! And this was about 9:20-9:30 PM. We’ve never had a host be that considerate. My family really appreciated that and loved staying at this Airbnb. DEF RECOMMEND
