πΏ A Friendly Note About Expectations & Pricing
Weβre a very small hosting team π β not a luxury hotel like the Waldorf Astoria or Four Seasons π¨. We donβt have on-site staff or 24/7 concierge service, but we genuinely do our best to make every guest feel comfortable and supported during their stay π€.
Our homes are priced much more reasonably than nearby hotels π°, and while we are always happy to help, we kindly ask guests to understand that we may not be able to meet every request the way a full-service hotel can.
Itβs also important to note that the total price you see is not what the host receives.
Hereβs a simple breakdown:
β’ π§Ύ ~15.5% goes directly to Airbnb as service fees
β’ π§Ή Cleaning fees go straight to professional cleaners
β’ ποΈ Taxes are collected based on local regulations
β’ πΌ What remains (which is much less) goes to the host and hosting team β before covering rent/mortgage, utilities, supplies, maintenance, and operations
For example, a $200/night stay for 2 nights ποΈ does not mean the host receives $400. After Airbnb fees, cleaning, and taxes, the actual amount received is significantly lower.
We truly appreciate guests who value transparency, fair pricing, and staying with an independent host β¨ Thank you for choosing us and for your understanding π
β¨ Apartment Features:
Bright and spacious living area with comfortable seating β perfect for relaxing after a day out

Disappointing. First thing I have to speak to is on night three, we came back from Knotts to the power being out. Not in the building or even the hall - just our room. Sent a message through the app, waited 15 minutesβ¦and then used the emergency text to reach out. They said theyβd figure it out. After an hour of nothing, I text again and they said there was nothing they could do there that late. So, They sent us to another room - had to wake up the kids to move. Fun. New room had the loudest portable AC units, but at least it was cool and we could charge our phones. Returned back to room in the morning. Power came back on around 9am. No reason or explanation. But we lost all our milk, fridge items, and a birthday cheesecake for my daughter (who got to move rooms for her birthday). I asked for some compensation for our troubles and have had silence for the last 6 days. Now the rest. Check in had so many steps it made us all anxious. Rules on AC thermostat kept the room warm. One of the two lights in the entry/kitchen was out. Speaking of lights, the lamps in the room corners were pretty cheap. Our room lamp had to jiggle the cord at the power outlet to make it work. The upside- Glendale is a good town and the room is so close to all sorts of good restaurants and shops. Very safe place and parking is fairly easy and safe. Overall, this is at the bottom of my VRBO experiences, unfortunately. Any attempt to compensate for that ruined night might have prevented this review.
