A little about the space:
The pictures don't do this place justice--it's HUGE. There are three bedrooms (four beds total!), lots of closet space, a huge living room, and an ample kitchen. To give you an idea, my partner and I were throwing our annual Thanksgiving dinner party and we had more than enough room to set up our potluck and cook a multi-course meal for our friends. As this was the first year we'd held dinner at a rented space, we were nervous, but everything went perfectly, and the event was a huge success, thanks in no small part to our host, Jimmy.
About our host, Jimmy:
As someone who travels a lot for work and for pleasure, when I sign up for an airbnb, I know that a host can make or break any rental; I always hope to end up with a host just like Jimmy. From the second we arrived, I could tell that he really cared about his guests, not just in terms of their having an enjoyable space but also taking a genuine interest in the people who came through. He was happy to host our dinner, and easy to communicate with in the time leading up to the holiday. Even later in the night, when our party turned out to be a bit more boisterous than we had expected, he was patient and respectful, more than I would expect from a neighbor, much less an airbnb host. From check in to check out, Jimmy was helpful, courteous, and easy-going, generous with both his rates and his time, and I can not recommend him enough!
