This was our first experience with Airbnb, and Paul set a high bar. Our room was cozy and comfy. We had the option of being as private or social as we wished. Paul made sure we knew we were welcome in the kitchen and on the terrace. He encouraged us to take tomatoes, apples and other ripe fruit and veggies from his garden. (Best Caprese salad ever!) And he gave us great recommendations about what to do while in Wanaka. There were so many ways -- small and large -- that Paul was as welcoming as a family member.
