This was such an incredibly nice stay. Kevin is an amazing host. I love his vibe, and both he and his wife made my dad and I feel so welcome. He's super relaxed and kind of zen, to be honest.
Over the last few years, so many Airbnb's have become kind of robotic. You never meet anyone, just get some codes to a lockbox and away you go. This place makes me miss how things used to be! Kevin was there to greet us and show us around and there was some absolutely killer banana bread waiting for us on the counter. The place is in a nice, family neighborhood that's quiet during the day and a little more lively in the evenings (but not loud in the least).
There's a nice outdoor kitchen with everything you need to prepare some meals and a cool little patio to chill. There's some nice touches in the bedroom, including a pebbled floor bathroom and cable TV with all the good channels! Internet is fast as well. It made me think of how nice it would be to live full-time in a space where more of the living space could be outside.
Many thanks. If I'm back in town and need a super comfy place to stay, I know where I'm going.
