This was my first travel experience with Airbnb, so I didn't really know what to expect. How unlike a hotel stay it is! No check in, no paperwork, no money transaction. It was more like staying with friends in their suburban home. The accommodations are near the University and were just as shown on the website, the bed was very comfortable, and the bath just three steps away. A surprise was the lavish abundance of flowering plants, both inside and outside. The hosts were very welcoming and relaxed, which added to the staying-with-friends feeling. They were also beyond merely helpful, giving me a ride to the university the first day, offering to make me a sandwich to lunch on, and arranging parking for me on campus on subsequent days. Also they shared lasagna, a delicious pavlova dessert (made by the host), and several enjoyable conversations. Altogether a very pleasant stay!
