We recently stayed at Yolanda's place for 8 nights. We were trying out Airbnb first time and were a little nervous about it. But once we entered Yolanda's place we immediately knew that we have come to a 'home' and not a 'house' ! Her place was exactly as she described.
The house was cozy, comfortable, quiet and safe. With the drawing room full of pictures of her lovely children, it really gave us the feel of the loving and caring person that she is.

Few things about the house -
Room was small but comfortable. With a TV with storage unit , AC and small walk in closet.
Bathroom was next door. It was clean and she provided fresh linen and toiletries.
Big fully functional kitchen (which by the way was our territory during most of our stay :) :) )
Breakfast was available for us even during our eeearly start of the day
Location was perfect with easy access to shops , highways.

This review will not be complete without a few words about the host !

Even though she kept to herself most of the time, it was again as she has mentioned in the listing that she was giving us our space.

Couple of our friends wanted to visit us during our stay. When we asked her permission for the visit, her reply was ' They are always welcome and my home is your home' !!
She frequently asked us about our needs and made sure that we are having a comfortable stay.
Even with her busy work schedule she always stopped to talk with us for a few minutes and yes, our 3 year old son greatly enjoyed it when she took him with her to feed the pets.
We had a requirement that the pets be kept out of the house during our stay , which she happily obliged.

We walked into a complete stranger's house and after 8 days we felt like we are moving out of our own home. But, one thing was sure that we have made a new friend !!
