Why did we rate this a little bit better than expected? Because we were in constant communication with Ben, who responded to all of our emails quickly and positively, so we knew what to expect before we arrived and all of those expectations were met. Unfortunately, our airline canceled our flight so we lost a day and we didn't get a chance to enjoy the entire week in Ben's comfortable and historic little home. I love the keyless self-entry. Once in, you can immediately see that the interior has been lovingly renovated, to modernize this 100-year-old house for your every convenience. The backyard was a perfect little place to have my early morning coffee, read, rest, and later enjoy meals and play board games with my family. The location is in perfect walking distance to so many hot spots on Brand, including Porto's and the Americana. I highly recommend this AirBnB choice -- just not the second week of August next year! We hope to return!
