I think this was one of those beautiful serendipitous occassions where one can say "the reputation proceeded." Now, you must understand. I am originally from this neighborhood. Not even 1 block away. However I haven't lived here for almost a decade. I fell in love with the layout (via photographs) because it resembled my old home. After seeing the sweet pic of Glenda's Mom & pup, reading the existing positive reviews, and feeling drawn to the familiar setting, I went ahead & booked! Brilliant move on my part! Glenda wasn't in town, but her brother welcomed me and showed me the space. He was absolutely knowledgeable, warm, and professional... and kept me company for a bit while I warmed up from the blizzard outside! After a few quiet and comfortable days (I was visiting on business) I finally met Glenda and her gorgeous baby daughter for a conversation about "the old neighborhood." I want to make it clear that the best part of staying here was the knowledge that you are surrounded by a family, and you may choose to interact or simply enjoy privacy. They are very respectful of your space, and offer interaction only if you would like it. And how could you not?! This is what Airbnb is all about! PS - The fruit & the wine offerings are a nice touch. Although I left the wine, those bananas were delicious! THANK YOU! I hope to stay here again if not booked! The tagline "home away from home" is solo accurate!
