Staying at Kirstin and Jeff's place was like staying at a friend's home -- which is exactly why we chose AirBnB as opposed to the regimented amenities provided at hotels/motels. With people arriving into town at different times, from different airports, it was nice to have a flexible check in time. It was nice not to hear "housekeeping!" every day. I understand and appreciate hotels/motels. But sometimes, you just want to stay at a cozy home with all the home amenities -- all of which were available at Kirstin and Jeff's:
They left out children's books and foamy faux-blocks my 16mo and 4year old neices loved (and I suspect their Mother might purchase soon).
There were plenty of towels, hangers, hooks, and mirrors all over the cozy home.
There was a full kitchen, with cups, bowls, utensils, little snacks, coffee and tea, even a binder of suggested places to eat! Seriously, if your friend said, hey, we are going out of town, come on over and stay at our place and she decided to hire a maid service to make her home extra inviting, this would be it.
