This is the second summer in a row that I spent in Marcus' apartment. Last July, I discovered his wonderful place and genuine personality. This year, I made a friend and came back to a place I love and have memories. I plan to visit again very soon. It's a great example of how a person and a place can far surpass the typical mechanics of an Airbnb booking: instead of just making a booking and being received a host, you win a friend and a second home with wonderful memories. It's rare to have experiences as such that redefine online bookings.
