I felt pretty good about booking Kat's place based on the terrific reviews she's received. This is the first time I have tried airbnb so was unsure about the communication/interaction aspect of booking a place through the service. The self check-in/check-out worked in our favor as we had full day plans day of check in. She prepared a binder full of instructions once we came in, and the extra towels/kitchen/beach stuff come in handy. Location is superb.
