over the last several years I have stayed at several Airbnb's and VRBO's. In all but one other instance it has been meet, pick up the keys and get instructions and then not see the host again. And in most cases this was fine, even desirable. However, this particular instance being able to meet Brita and Reinhard and spend time visiting with them added a wonderfully unexpected dimension to our visit to San Diego. We not only were fortunate to stay in one of the most stylish, well stocked and comfortable accommodations one could image we had the pleasure of wonderful conversations with the Westphals. They went beyond expectation to be to be available, hospitable and considerate of our privacy as well as facilitating the most enjoyable airbnb experiences ever. In all sincerity, I felt like I was staying with family. I cannot imagine staying anywhere else when I'm in San Diego.
