I've stayed at about 30 AirBnbs, and I can say without any doubt that Rene's house is the most awesome, interesting, unique, fun AirBnb I've ever stayed at. There are 2 AirBnb rooms next to each other (each one with its own private bathroom), and Rene also has also a couple other more permanent tenants in other places of his house. Everybody shares the living room and kitchen next to the AirBnb rooms, and also all the amazing outdoor spaces in Rene's house. So, you have the comfort and privacy of your own room and bathroom (which were both spotless clean on my arrival), but also you need to be OK with a certain amount of potential messiness in the common areas, since there can be several guests and tenants using them. I found this to be totally fine, especially since it also meant that I got to meet all these other interesting people, and to hang out, and even become friends with some of them. You also need to add the 2 dogs, Penny and Willow, who are well behaved, lovely and sweet (although they sometimes bark, and they may even occasionally wake you up with their barking) to the whole awesome mix.
The location is great --totally safe to walk at any time, and walking distance to tons of restaurants, bars, coffee shops, ice-cream parlors, food trucks, anything you may need. And a beautiful hilly setting all around (Rene's house is on the top of one of these hills).
Finally there is Rene himself. He is indeed a gentle soul as he says in his profile, and he absolutely takes care of his guests, and even helps them in ways that go beyond his host responsibilities. I've seen this first hand.
So, for people looking for a more traditional, hotel-like AirBnb experience, Rene's place might not be the best choice. But, for people who would be comfortable in all this fabulous mix, I don't think there is a better place than Rene's AirBnb on the face of the earth.
