We are from the states and don't travel often. We traveled to New Zealand for our "trip of a lifetime." I was responsible for making the arrangements. I had booked a couple of rooms at a local "high end" hotel. I wanted to make this trip as special as possible. My son told me that I should look at places on Airbnb. I have never used the service but had heard good things so I decided to look around. I came across Bridget's place and it looked perfect for us. I went ahead and booked (and cancelled our hotel rooms) but was nervous just because we were new to Airbnb. Well, I think it turned out to be the best decision I made regarding the whole trip! Number one for me was the spectacular views from the balcony. Another great thing about the place was that when we got there, my wife walked around and said, "this place is immaculate." I really can't stress enough how much we enjoyed Bridget's place.
Maybe the highest compliment I can give is that our plans changed and we stayed in New Zealand longer than expected. I immediately tried to extend our stay Bridget's place but it was booked. We ended up booking 2 rooms at the "high end" hotel I mentioned earlier. There was absolutely no comparison between our experience at Bridget's versus our experience at the hotel. We all wished we could have stayed longer at Bridget's place!
Thank you Bridget!
