I have used Airbnb in several countries all over the world, and I can confidently say that Ben was by far one of the most prompt, clear, and communicative airbnb hosts I have ever had the pleasure of coordinating with.
The space actually surpassed my expectations, and I particularly loved that my room had a private balcony and was located on a seperate floor from the other guests. All linens felt clean, and I appreciated the small, yet meaningful touches of having robes, slippers, and a bottle of water provided in the room. Was also super convenient to have a second toilet available on my floor so I didn’t have to go up the stairs (where the shared shower and other toilet were) everytime I needed to go.
Above all, I would say that the most impressive part of my stay was his lovely cleaning lady. I was admittedly a bit skeptical coming into a shared airbnb, but his cleaner was so on top of it that I sometimes found myself forgetting that I was even sharing common spaces with others and felt like I was in a small hotel.
I saw her nearly every day working hard to help keep all common spaces clean and fresh, and always took the time to ask how I was doing and see if there was anything I needed. She even helped me move in when I first arrived! She always made me smile, had a genuinely positive attitude, and was invested in making sure I had both a comfortable and pleasant experience. A truly warm and kind soul that always brightened my day. Oh, and she also spoke French which was a major and unexpected plus for me! Merci beaucoup :)
