This was My first air bnb experience. I would compare this to staying in a hostel. My room was very comfortable and the whole place was extremely clean and well kept. The mattress was especially comfortable. The neighborhood took me aback a little - not what I’m used to - although I never felt unsafe. Great location for the city. John was easy to communicate with and went out of his way to make me feel welcome. He lives on the bottom floor of the building. The only negative was the baby that woke me once crying - a family is living in one of the rooms that is available on this floor. Very sweet family and the baby was teething. But I think you expect that kind of thing with a hostel - so that’s why I compare it to a hostel.
Overall it was an excellent experience.
