I have stayed in dozens of Airbnbs--- this is the BEST by a landslide.
The photos and description do not give Sherin's place justice, and there is no mention of her INCREDIBLE hospitality.
We were shocked when we arrived. It is magical as soon as you walk up to the front door. A clean, beautiful outdoor sitting area greets you next to a grand home entrance. The front hall is filled with beautiful, interesting decor, completely clean and no signs of it being a private home. Honestly, it felt like a fancy hotel.
She left a bottle of organic/locally delivered milk, several drinks, and tons of snacks for us, as well as provides a very nice self-grinding coffee/espresso machine (yum). The bathroom should be referred to as a SPA! There were so many wonderful things. The shower was gorgeous- 2 waterfall shower heads, massive space, wooden bench, plenty of makeup towels, and a huge variety of high quality bath and body products for both genders--- plus if you forget, a toothbrush/razor/etc. I was blown away.
The bed was SO COMFORTABLE! It was similar to a "purple" mattress- brand new, soft but supportive. Best pillows ever, cotton sateen sheets... I joked to my spouse that I thought the must be "200,000 thread count" haha! So soft.
The furnishings and decor were so well done. It felt like home, the pieces, though new, looked vintage and they all had character. It flowed beautifully. Incredible design, belongs in a magazine!
The space is HUGE. I thought it might be cramped, but it flows so well. Tons of space, and a massive storage closet with mirror/crib/clothes hanger off the kitchen. Each room had french doors with privacy shades, so we could open it all up, or have privacy. The fireplace - gorgeous. Love how it can heat the bathroom and bath towels! Bonus!
We stayed on a 104 degree day, and the windows/skylights (also fans) had remote control shades! Even though it was on the 3rd floor, we had to turn the AC down at one point because we were cold!
CLAP CLAP CLAP Sherin! You WON AIRBNB!!! (BOOK NOW.) It wont last.
