Oak Retreat by Yosemite National Park

Coarsegold

With free WiFi, this homestay features a cable flat-screen TV, a washing machine and a fully equipped kitchen with a dishwasher and oven. Towels and bed linen are available in the homestay. The accommodation offers an air conditioning, a heating and a private bathroom. Everything was just PERFECT. We truly recommend this place to anyone, who's planning a visit to Yosemite NP. The hosts, Ellen and Neil, were so lovely, friendly, and sweet. They gave us plenty of recommendations and updates on the area and Yosemite park, which we visited during our stay. They made us feel BETTER THAN AT HOME, and made the atmosphere in their lovely home super cozy, friendly, and so positive. They made us feel welcome 100% of the time, with perfect portion of privacy and we had no feeling of being 'visitors' any of the time, rather than it being 'common home of all of us' - SO NICE! :) The area around is lovely, you really feel connected to the nature and not feeling the rush of a city or busy roads. The facilities were more than satisfying. Very nice bedroom, really comfortable bed (we slept like babies after the hikes:)), fully equipped kitchen, our own fully equipped bathroom with soft towels and nice lavender soap - and the additional toothbrushes in case we forgot ours (that was a very nice touch :)), beautiful seating indoor area, and gorgeous outdoor seating, where we would enjoy our breakfasts with the sound of birds singing. If we could, we'd give 15 out of 10 points to this place and to our hosts. And if we're coming back to the Yosemite area, this place would be definitely on top of our list. Thank you very much, Ellen & Neil, for this amazing 'home away from home' experience. :)

Comfortable Luxury Studio

Los Angeles

Featuring air-conditioned accommodation with a terrace, Comfortable Luxury Studio is located in Los Angeles. Guests can benefit from a patio and a picnic area. The guest house also provides free WiFi, free private parking and facilities for disabled guests. We were greeted by a very nice owner. We arrived much earlier before check-in. Even so, we were able to leave our luggage at his house. When we came back in the evening our luggage was waiting in our room. The owner was extremely welcoming. The fridge was filled with delicious food. Everything you need for tasty breakfasts plus alcohol as in the best hotel, but for free. Lots of fruit and sweets on the table. Well-equipped kitchen. A very comfortable bed in the bedroom. All necessary cosmetics in the bathroom.
