There are those hosts that list on Airbnb that have a space available and see it as an opportunity to fill a clean bed and make a quick buck. From my experience that is the norm.
That is what made our stay with Nicola such a delightful and well needed respite from a week of adequate, yet well under expectations, experiences with lodging.
Nicola differentiated herself and her property by providing not just an immaculate and cheerful bedroom, but a fun and quirky lounge.
The thing that put it really over the top though was the amazing and well thought out breakfast.
There were homemade grab and go items that included fresh berry smoothies, overnight oats, a wide variety of high end yogurts, fresh fruit and cheeses.
There was also a variety of hot options including pancakes and bagels with smoked salmon and also eggs.
Nicola herself is delightful and as accommodating as a host could possibly be.
We were planning to go to Innismore the following day and I neglected to bring towels.
It wasn’t even a thought for her.
She offered us new towels to take with us and then drop off at a hotel right across from the ferry so we wouldn’t have to double back to return them and could continue our drive north.
If you plan to be in this area, don’t even bother looking at other properties. This is the one. Great person who has developed a great product.
She should be damn proud.
Go see for yourself.
