I booked Johns house for my parents who were visiting from Ireland for 10 days. This was their first airbnb experience and they loved it.
It was perfect for them as it was on a nice quite road but a few steps away from a lovely neighbourhood with lots of shops, bars and restaurants. They loved strolling around and exploring the area. Then when they wanted to go down town they just hopped on the streetcar and were there in minutes. Then every evening they would pop into McQueens pub, which was just around the corner, to have a drink and chat with the locals.
The house was great and had everything they needed. It was lovely and clean and they commented on how comfortable the bed was!
