So it's finally hit home for me: there's an unspoken dimension of the right kind of Airbnb, and it's about the books. Yes, the books that are just sitting there quietly on the shelf. Even if you only spend a little bit of time flipping through them, when you see them sitting there, inviting you to relax, and giving you a sense of what kind of people your hosts are (and you think, these are totally my kind of people, who are asking the same kinds of questions in the world), there's a way that they make you feel at home that nothing else can quite do. So we felt right at home in so many ways that had to do with the architecture, the furnishings (everything fit into its place SO PERFECTLY, it was a marvel!), the potbelly stove, the bathroom (<3 !!!) of course, but I like these people and I haven't even met them! Walkability is super tops. We loved everything about this place. It was a REAL kitchen, really had what we needed to do nearly all our own cooking (so important for us)!
