I haven't had many bad AirBnb experiences, mostly because I won't stay in a place that doesn't have a substantial number of 5-star reviews, but I've stayed in plenty of places that didn't live up to the pictures. The pictures of Richard's place were so beautiful, I assumed that his place couldn't match them. Wow, was I wrong. I've never stayed anywhere with the combination of views, amenities and thoughtful design touches that this amazing house has. I've never spent as much for 2 nights anywhere (I didn't see the hefty cleaning fee before I clicked, but seeing how meticulously the house was prepared it's not surprising), but I'd book Richard's place again in a heartbeat. My family couldn't stop raving. Even my daughter, who always wants to eat out, wanted to cook in both nights, just so we could all sit and enjoy the view together. This house quite literally made our stay in Queenstown unforgettable.
