We had a wonderful stay! This cute spanish style home was in a perfect location for walking into Kensington to bars and restaurants and, at the same time, is away from that enough that neighborhood very lovely and quiet! Bed were superb and comfortable along with great pillows. Kitchen well stocked! Overall, a very spacious property with gorgeous backyard...an amazing place!
A perfect stay! The property was accurately described on the listing and even better. Communication was prompt, helpful, and checking in was easy peasy. The home is welcoming, clean, and comfortable. Beautiful large kitchen with nice cookware & amenities. The bed is comfortable, the bathrooms clean & stocked. I enjoyed the art/decor touches throughout the home and backyard. The backyard is a lovely oasis - it is private and the landscaping is nice & serene. The smell of star jasmine is delightful - I enjoyed being outside reading. Communication during my stay was prompt, helpful, and friendly. I’ve already rebooked for next month!
M’y second stay at this lovely property. The home is welcoming and comfortable with all the amenities of home. Excellent and prompt communication from the host. I appreciate the accuracy of the listing as I’ve been disappointed in the past by misleading listings. The location of the home is convenient to all of the perks of this wonderful neighborhood - market, UPS, restaurants, coffee shops, library, etc. I’ve booked via VRBO for about 15 years and this property exceeds all others.
