There are hosts. There are superhosts. And then there's Sue! =)
When you have a host that thinks of of everything you need before you need it and has lightning-fast responses, it makes for a very pleasant stay. As newlyweds, we really loved spending the first 53 days of our married life in such cozy environs. Really loved the TV set-up, the kitchen and bathroom but what we will miss the most is the pull-out bed. Game changer! When we get a bigger place, that exact bed will be top of the list of purchases. The neighbourhood is lively and you can have a nice walk while taking care of all your shopping needs.
If you love very intimate spaces (or don't mind being in close quarters) and meeting the locals, then this is the place for you. Best for people doing a solo or couples' stay.
