This was my first experience booking through air bnb and because of Merrilyn's charming apartment and hospitality I will not shy away from doing it again. Her loft is absolutely gorgeous. Everything was super clean and she paid special attention to details to make it feel homey. She even had homemade scones waiting for us upon arrival - how thoughtful (and delicious)! The location was perfect as well. It was close to two of the things we really wanted to do (The Pharmacy for dinner and Barista Parlor for brunch) and only 15-20 minutes from the city. The pictures of the loft are not at all misleading - a very accurate depiction of what you will find. I also appreciated that Merrilyn respected privacy. We never actually met her face to face, but she left a welcoming impression - quite a feat.
