Like staying at my Grandma's house!
I wasn't sure what to expect because this was my very first experience with AirBNB, but Carolyn was so thoughtful we'll definitely do this again!
Our host wasn't going to be there when we checked in, so she sent detailed instructions and photos so we could get situated.
The room had fresh flowers and a bottle of wine waiting for us.
Carolyn is a music teacher, just like my grandma was, and so I took a peek in her music room. I was greeted by a very large and loving cat, who's purr is just as large. I was missing my own fur babies so this was definitely a plus.
There was children's art everywhere, which went well with the "artsy" feel of the house. It also brought back memories from my childhood.
Keep in mind that this house is older, and a bit drafty. If you are expecting the Biltmore hotel, this isn't the house for you. But my husband and I were quite comfortable under the layers of blankets she provided, along with the small heaters for the bedroom and the bathroom.
I had read that the bathroom was semi-private, (it's shared with her music students) so I brought a small box for my toiletries. It turns out, that I could have used one of the boxes our host provided. She also provided a small supply of shampoo and conditioner, which was unexpected and very nice.
The bathroom and shower are small, can only fit one person. It is very cute with pink tile. Obviously from another decade, it is also a bit cold, so the extra small heater she provided was very much welcomed.
If you like artsy-fartsy, and a host that is very accommodating, you're probably a good fit for staying here. If you want sleek new modern lines you might want to keep looking.
I for one will stay here again if I'm in the area.
