I can't begin to describe what a meaningful and wonderful experience I had by staying with Jane and Dylan! This was my first Airbnb that I'd ever stayed in! I was nervous at first. I didn't want to disturb my hosts too much as they are both teachers just like me, and I thought that they would be exhausted. I arrived on a Friday, and, for me, Fridays are precious after a hard week of work. I loved their children, too. There is something so lovely about staying in someone's home, hearing the sounds of small children above, walking out the door to see kids' toys in the backyard, being in a real neighbourhood, etc! Within a few days, I felt like a part of the family. I had my privacy when I wanted it, but I also could connect with my hosts when I needed to. Being from Canada and not having roaming on my phone, I had to email Jane, and she responded to my questions promptly and accurately. I will always CHERISH my memory of my 1st Airbnb experience! Thank you so much Jane, Dylan, Edie, and Elliot.
P.S. Even their oldest child got into the role of being my host. When I was asking for directions to the grocery store, she got on her rain jacket and escorted me to the corner of the block to point out where to go! She's only 5 years old!
