Even before I arrived at Kirsten's place, she was very responsive and helpful! I initially wanted to check in early and even though I didn't, she was very willing to work around my schedule. The place looked JUST like it's pictures; clean, charming, and peaceful! The neighborhood was very friendly and I felt comfortable walking around by myself. I visited local restaurants and shops which were recommended by Kirsten in her guide book. If I am ever back in the area, I will definitely try to stay here again. The "cottage" or "apartment" was separate from the rest of the house and the private deck was beautiful! To top it off, the bed was extremely comfortable and I felt as though I was staying at a nice hotel! Overall, my first Airbnb experience will be VERY hard to top!
