To be completely honest, we didn't feel entirely welcomed here, which really shocked us given the rave reviews. While the initial message from our host upon booking was really friendly, the communication starting the week of the trip was rather short, bordering on inhospitable. I don't think our host was pleased that our flight was schedule to arrive at 10:30pm, and the check-in window ended at 11pm. We have tough work schedules and don't have control over Southwest airlines, so this was the best we could do. Even so, our flight arrived early, so we made the cutoff.

The texts that followed during our visit gave off a similar vibe, and we often felt like we were imposing. I'm sure this wasn't intended, but it did cause us to feel uncomfortable and spend the majority of our time outside of the house. Our communication was 100% via text until the final day, so my husband and I often reviewed the texts to see if we had done something wrong. We really couldn't figure it out, and we are very clean and quiet guests. We've never had a less than wonderful experience with Airbnb.

The house was beautiful and is in a great location (just a couple of blocks from great food and nightlife), so I would say that if you are looking for a place to drop your stuff and sleep, this is the place for you. Also, the dog is wonderful.
