This was my second experience with airbnb. I missed to meet Karen and her family but I got chance to see her cat. Having the keys of her apartment was a big responsibility in absence of her. The room was clean and big enough for one person to sleep at night. Being wooden floor, I had to be careful for noise. I'm thankful that Karen managed her friend at her apartment when I arrived at 3:00am. The location and surrounding environment was quiet, I loved her apartment, she has a lot of books. Thanks Karen for having me as a guest.

Tourists like me have lots of queries. In general from my last two weeks of experience with four airbnb hosts, I felt that the presence of the host at least at the moment of check-in and check-out will significantly improve the experience.
