There is nothing, NOTHING, like being beyond exhausted and entering the most gorgeously appointed apartment on your first experience with Airbnb. My son, who lives a few doors away from our hosts, Kit and Jo, helped us arrange our visit.
We had no idea what to expect. After a very long, if exciting day, all we really wanted was to tumble into bed. Instead, we were alive with excitement. The care and attention to details was remarkable; beautiful, unique, and hand picked by someone clearly with an eye for design and quality.
That care extended to Kit and Jo themselves in their anticipation of every need: an entire wall of soft, white towels, little extras that a traveler might have left at home; in the kitchen, a basket of snacks, a circular rack of varying coffee flavors, as well as the cocoa, a lovely dining table and large windows that looked out on neighboring roof gardens and an inviting deck below.
Make ourselves at home? You bet! Better, much better than Home. A giant flat screen tv over the fireplace— yes, fireplace, comfy sofas, ...you get the idea.
Falling into a soft cloud of pillows and quilts with an approximate thread count of 1,000 was pure heaven. An instant cure for a terminal insomniac like me. The best two nights’ sleep in a while, and a desire to head home and spruce things up a bit.
