We took a little bit of a gamble on AJ's place -- it was a relatively new listing on Airbnb, and there were just two previous reviews, neither being particularly descriptive. I can't believe our good fortune that we ended up there. It was without a doubt the best Airbnb I've ever stayed in.
First of all, the house itself is just gorgeous -- the photos on the listing definitely don't do it justice. It is spacious, it is beautiful, it is light and airy, it is clean. The back patio is a lovely space for breakfast in the morning or a glass of wine in the evening. I just can't say enough good things about the space itself -- it was a real winner.
The kitchen is also extremely well stocked. We did a decent amount of cooking while we were there, and were able to find all of the cookware we might need, plenty of storage containers for leftovers, etc.
Beds were extremely comfortable. Towels were abundant and plush. The central AC was hardly needed, but when we needed it it was perfect. This was the kind of Airbnb that could make you wish you had booked an extra few days.
And then there's AJ. We never met her in person, but she was prompt, gracious, and accommodating. I hesitate to mention this, because I can't promise she'll do it when you stay there, but AJ left us a fresh batch of hommemade toffee brownies when we checked in. Who does that!? AJ does that. She is an amazing host. Even if she doesn't leave you brownies, you will not regret staying in her home.
