How do I begin?
Normally when traveling we rent an entire apartment. I find when traveling with my sons, this gives us the space and amenities we need. This was a departure for us, we wanted to try the true Airbnb experience staying with our hosts. Obviously, when choosing a spot, my main criteria have to do with location, accessibility, and budget. Then I take a look at reviews, etc... The location was perfect while visiting my older son at Pratt as well as getting around on public transportation. The room is very spacious yet cozy. We had our own private bathroom just down the hall. Both are on the third floor so we had lots of privacy when we wanted it. Many restaurants nearby to try, suggested by Lorelei and Alex. Now, the thing that really made this by far our best experience comes down to Lorelei and Alex, our hosts. As I said, this was new to us. We didn't know what to expect. They gave us the space we needed while at the same time being gracious. We slowly got to know each other, and soon were enjoying coffee in the morning, afternoon visits and evening wine together. We felt like good friends or extended family. We look forward to returning in the future and expanding on this new, found friendship. Also, if you're an animal lover, Elvis, the cat, is great. Can't recommend their home enough!!! We're definately going back if they'll have us!!!
