I attended a training this week in San Mateo, California. I found a cute little place to stay through Airbnb in the neighboring town of Burlingame. The house was built 110 years ago and it was absolutely adorable. It was located within walking distance of Burlingame Ave, which was a hot spot for shops and restaurants.

My host, Lisa, clearly understands hospitality. She left out an amazing breakfast for me every morning. No two were the same, but all included home made bread and pastries and fresh fruit. There were so many nice touches that made me feel so comfortable and welcomed throughout the week. A bowl of fresh cherries on the table, a tiny bowl of jelly beans in my bedroom, tissue boxes strategically placed throughout the house, extra toiletries, fresh flowers, etc. I could on and on, so I’ll just let the pictures speak for themselves—
