I've stayed at a little over twenty Airbnbs throughout my Airbnb-ing career. Not sure if that's a lot or not very much or somewhere right in the middle, but I say that just to give some context to what I'm about to say, which is that this has been, hands down, the very best Airbnb experience I've ever had.
Patrick is an exceptionally thoughtful host, and it shows in the way he's set up the space. To get the basics out of the way, the place was clean, comfortable, and warmly decorated and laid out. "Cozy" was definitely an apt description of the vibe. There were the expected basic amenities and local information packet, but it was in the details where things really shined. From the decorative fresh flowers and mint to the welcome chocolates on the pillows to the bowl of fruit to the makeup-specific towels in the bathroom (which my wife really appreciated) to the jar of "just-in-case-you-forgot" toiletries, the place was full of little touches that made it feel especially comfortable and welcoming. And, for those of you who drink coffee, Patrick roasts his own beans and included a jar of his home-roasted coffee for us to enjoy and take home with us. The coffee setup in the place is on point, and the home-roasted coffee was pretty damn delicious.
But beyond the place itself, what I appreciated the most was getting to share a cup of coffee with Pat (and his brother Andy) one morning of our stay. On the description of the listing, Pat mentions being open to sharing a drink and conversation on request, and I definitely recommend taking him up on the offer. We sat outside on the front porch (Pat was good and Covid-safety conscious) and both he and his brother were warm and kind and it was just great getting to spend some time chatting with some new human beings =). So yeah, can't recommend staying here enough.
p.s. The information packet was actually useful and a perfect digestible length. It included some curated recommendations for places to eat and things to check out and wasn't like a million pages long. I probably appreciated that as much as Kate appreciated the makeup towels.
