For our last week of summer vacation, we took a road trip to visit Crater Lake National Park in Oregon and Lassen Volcanic National Park in Northern California. I took k and her friend to their middle school registration in the morning, and we hit the road right after. Our first stop was Sacramento. At first we had a reservation at a Marriott in downtown Sacramento with D’s points, but then I saw this Airbnb listing in my Facebook feed through our friend’s sister’s friend! We had never tried Airbnb, but thought it would be worth a try.
The duplex did not look like much from the outside, but you could tell that a lot of effort had been put into remodeling the interior. We were able to park right outside the front door, so that was nice. I downloaded the SmartLock app as instructed, and it was so cool. The lock looks like a regular lock, but when I opened the app on my phone, the door unlocked/locked like magic.
The owner definitely has an eye for style!
This was the bedroom D and I stayed in. The mattress was very comfortable!
This was the bedroom where the kids slept. It was nice to have separate rooms. D was able to wake up early to do his core exercises without disturbing the kids’ sleep.
Here’s the bathroom. For some reason I failed to take a picture of the kitchen! Overall, this was a positive Airbnb experience for us. I will definitely be keeping it in mind for future stays.
We went to a local grocery store and bought food for dinner, breakfast, and hot dogs for the next night’s camping dinner.
We left early the next morning since it was Oregon or bust!
