We found Magda and Dilip after we had an unexpected change in travel plans and found ourselves with literally zero commercial options within a 60-70 kilometer radius. My sister in law had suggested we try airbnb (I had never used the service). While I was a bit nervous and had zero idea what to expect, it turned out to be a lovely experience. First, they kindly agreed to accommodate us VERY last minute (I mean hours away from check in) which we very much appreciated given our circumstances. Second, the accommodation was very comfortable and allowed us a good deal of privacy if desired. Third, they were quite willing to engage in conversation, and even - very unexpectedly - treated us to two wonderful meals (I will say we might have come across as rather pathetic so I'm not sure if that is a regular thing) :) It was a nice way to try out airbnb.
