I wish I could re-design my own apartment to be as lovely and relaxing as this house. The photos do not do this place justice. The space is gorgeous, filled with fascinating sculptures and paintings. It's a truly striking house. From the moment I arrived, I was gaping at each flower, piece of furniture, and color selection.
What is truly surprising about the house is how much it exudes relaxation and comfort alongside it's fantastic design. I felt like I was somehow in a spa disguised as an art exhibit. My room was incredibly spacious, with huge windows overlooking a garden and a comfortable, large bed. The rooms had dressers and wardrobes, giving me more clothing space than I knew what to do with. The antique desk was straight out of my childhood wish list -- it's the kind that makes you wish you could write short stories in the evening. On top of all this, it's clean!
A great experience with AirBnB can involve factors of design, location, or comfort, but at the end of the day, it all starts with the host. That is a fundamental truth with this house -- it's clear that the hostess, Maria, is the source for this place's lovely, homelike atmosphere. She truly goes out of her way to make you feel at home in her house. Staying in a bedsit-situation, the variety of other guests allows you to appreciate even more how supportive and kind she is as a hostess. Incredibly helpful and friendly, yet respectful of privacy, Maria makes the stay a peaceful one. She genuinely seems invested in your well-being, going above and beyond at any point.
Anyway, I obviously recommend this place. Future guests -- enjoy your stay!
