This was my friend's and my first time staying at an AirBnB & we were very happy with it. Cissy's place was exactly as advertised & seen via the photos. Plus it's location was very convenient to all of the places we went to....
Her place was very clean & both my friend & I were completely comfortable walking around barefoot.
Her dogs were incredibly well behaved. They barked when we first came in each time but then very quiet afterwards. They both enjoyed coming out to visit as well, but as long as you're fine with dogs, then all is great.
Also Cissy was great about adding little extra touches to make our stay that much nicer. She had fresh flowers, brochures about local places to visit & even provided some goodies for us (in our particular case, she provided us w/ muffins & scones).
She also was able to offer some restaurant suggestions and a place to go hiking, so we could see some beautiful waterfalls.
She was also willing to listen to the suggestions on how to improve guests stays.
Overall, she was very friendly and her place & friendliness definitely beat any hotel stay that you could ever have.
