This rental is typical of a certain philosophy currently being practiced by a new breed of ‘entrepreneur’ when offering their facility on AirBandB.
There was a time when the purpose of renting through this on-line system was not so much about finding ‘cheap’ accommodation but was just as much about meeting interesting, often off-beat, charming and enchanting ‘local characters’ – of whom, over the years, I have (mostly) been blessed to have enjoyed.
Nowadays, it would seem that a growing number of AirBandB suppliers treat this medium entirely as a commercial enterprise with the sole intent of monetising their asset – which, in-and-of-itself, is not ‘bad’.
… Only that it reflects a movement away from the base ethos that once used to embody the core hallmark of this concept – as opposed to that which might now more exactly be experienced as a blatant function of ‘cost-versus-value’.
Within this context, what this Host has to offer is indubitably well-placed, of an acceptable price and entirely congruent with the fundamental concept of a rental based on a purely profit-oriented offering.
Indeed, no doubt many new-to-AirBandB users – uncluttered by any memories associated with the former, genteel hospitality once so generously offered by those original Hosts involved during the first years of this concept, will no doubt be entirely satisfied by the surface values encompassed by this offering as Mr. Nicholas practices a consummate professionalism that is entirely in accordance with this more recent expression of ‘hospitality’.
That said, it will behove any intended visitor to most assiduously read this Host’s ‘Rules’ and be aware of the various limitations, caveats and associated fines that frame the offer and which will, should any default or mishap by chance eventuate, be most exactly applied without either empathy or magnanimity.
Despite this, as can be witnessed by the fulsome compliments addressed to the Host, the facility’s excellent location and its price must assuredly go a long way to gainsaying any eventual qualms or uneasy disquiet on might harbour at the potential for having failed to fully digest the small print.
