Lana’s home is cozy, homey, clean and had more than enough space for my family of four. It is exactly as pictured. Lana kept our fridge fully stocked with breakfast and snacks and drinks that the kids were happy to dig into when we checked in late after a long day of traveling, and enjoyed throughout our stay.
There is no kitchen, but a five-minute walk away is Pusateri’s, a gourmet food grocer that offers delicious cooked food we heated in the microwave. Lana provides enough plates, glasses and cutlery, but also provides disposables. She also provides enough cleaning supplies for our six day stay. Special requests, like an ironing board or additional coffee, were promptly accommodated.
Her home is also very close to shops, and we loved taking walks through the neighborhood (it is lovely).
Being a basement unit, some footsteps and shuffling could be heard from time to time (which we expected), but it was not bothersome for us.
As this was our first Airbnb booking overseas (hotels are our default choice), we were not sure what to expect, but if our experience in Lana’s home is the standard, then we are converts!
