This is what Airbnb was meant to be—people who love to host and have some extra room, opening up their spaces to travelers. It was like staying in the back apartment of a quirky and gracious aunt, who also happens to be immaculately clean. Perfect.
When you look at the indoor space, which is adequate but not huge for a family (we have 4), also consider the outdoor spaces. The balcony and courtyard is what made the space work for my family.
