Lovely stay!

This place was lovely! The house is both roomy and cozy at the same time. Neighborhood was quiet and so pretty. It was close to everything and the owner was super kind in answering our questions. I would absolutely book again when we come up to see family. It was the perfect place to relax and spend time with family we haven't seen in a while. The beds were very comfy and everything was so spacious and comfortable. 10/10 would recommend! Thanks for everything Kimberly!

Large house, great location

We enjoyed our stay at this spacious house near Hardesty Park. Great location in a quiet residential neighborhood. We appreciated the little touches like sound machines and wireless cell phone chargers in every room. There were a few minor issues — no paper towels (but there were cloth napkins that we were able to use like paper towels), and a bit of grime in the bathtub. Overall, a great stay. Thanks!

About the host

Hosted by Kimberly

Host profile image
Welcome Guest!

I originally intended to write up a lengthy backstory about who I am and how I came about becoming a short-term rental host.  But then honestly, I lost track of time.  Eh...who has time to read these things anyways! I'm sure you're more excited about your upcoming trip and want to spend your valuable time planning out all the fun (or relaxing) things to do when you come and visit!

ABOUT ME:
If you do find yourself wanting to kill some time then here's the bullet points about...me 😊

>I'm a senior release engineer from SoCal
>I'm kind of an introvert (what? a programmer that's ALSO an introvert? What are the odds?!)
>I'm definitely a health nut and LOVE outdoor adventures (hiking, biking, exploring, you name it!)
>I play guitar and love to learn about music (been playing on and off for over 20 years now and I still consider myself a beginner)
>I collect LEGO...mostly minifigs (AFOL here!)


IT'S JUST ME:
In case you were wondering, this home is managed by...you guessed it, me! I'm not a company or real estate mogul that buys properties and then hands them off to a well-oiled machine of people behind-the-scenes making this place run.  Yes, I do hire local cleaners and handy-people and plumbers to clean and fix things (I said I was a senior release engineer...not a senior-release-engineer-professional-cleaner-licensed-electrician-marshmallow-whisperer-jack-of-all-trades person jeesh). But other than that, it's mostly me. I'm definitely not a fan of auto-bots (the chatting kind, not the Transformer kind) so if you have any questions or concerns or suggestions then let me know! And know that I, as the owner and host of the property, will be the one seeing those messages.
