It was my first time using airbnb.com. For me, more than saving a buck here or there, it was about getting out of my comfort zone and trying something new.

With all the previous good reviews, I thought that Eric’s place was a safe bet to get started.

The first impression can only be given once, and with carefully crafted instructions of restaurants in the area, shopping options, transportation and tourism sites; Eric’s first impression was nothing short of great. [he would make a great hotel manager]

Furthermore, he was extremely friendly and invited me to tag alone with him and his friend Ronin. Seriously, he treated me like an old friend.

I felt so comfortable that I wanted to stay further more. If I ever come back to Lausane, I would look forward to stay at his place again.
