Yoshi's dome house was the first Airbnb I stayed in that lived up to the marketing: it didn't at all feel like a hotel room, or someone's spare apartment. Rather, it felt like I was housesitting at an apartment belonging to my most tasteful friend.
The dome is the first thing you'll notice, but it's really the details that impressed us about Yoshi's place. The way the whole house smells like fresh wood, the stunning multicolored hardwood floors, the pair of cozy blankets so that you can stay warm on the covered outdoor deck, the perfect toilet, every detail seemed carefully considered.
And that's not to mention Yoshi as a host--our arrival got delayed from 3pm to 11pm, and Yoshi came out to make sure we found the Airbnb. When he let us in, he immediately showed us the homemade scones, yogurt, and jam, as well as a charmingly-illustrated booklet explaining how to use the various amenities (Nespresso, speaker system, toilet). Daigo, Yoshi's friendly big dog came to play with us for a little bit, which was also very much appreciated. Yoshi made sure we felt welcome, but was definitely not at all overbearing.
