If Airbnb wants to write a manual on how to be a great host, they should consult Nik, James, and the Doods. Their home is great to begin with—a convenient yet quiet location with everything you could possibly need, but their thoughtful touches are what set them apart as some of the best hosts we’ve had. Black-out curtains in the bedroom, a nightlight in the bathroom, compost bags under the sink, and a bottle of wine to welcome us (the list could go on and on). These guys have thought of everything. They said they’ve done a lot of work on their home and garden, and it really shows. You and your furry friends won’t regret your stay at the Barking Dog.
