My first experience with air b&b couldn't have been more successful a Helen and Chuck's cottage. From the beginning before I left Chicago for my trip, Chuck took the time to help me choose the easiest and less expensive route to the cottage from the airport via phone and through an online tool.

The place itself was a marvel to look at! My boyfriend and I were in aw about everything from the little welcome note to the snacks provided by the hosts and the comfiest bed we have ever slept on. We spent the new year in the hot tub, it was absolutely amazing! Chuck and Helen even surprised us with a bottle of champagne for new years! We got to know a bit more about our hosts. They are truly inspiring people who love to travel and understand the needs of a traveler as they proved during our stay in their cottage.
Everything we needed for a comfortable stay was inside the cottage and everything we needed for fun and entertainment was out in town. After our hosts made us feel welcomed, Chuck took us on a walking tour and pointed out Dog beach, the best restaurants in town, local coffee shops, bike paths, best sunset spots, local bars, and music entertainment. This is a gesture a hotel wouldn't provide. I did not have a single bad meal either.
We loved that all these activities were local. Even the locals that my boyfriend and I spoke with were outgoing and helpful people.

OUTSTANDING hosts and cottage- they deserve an applause
