Pedro's and Cait's Pinky was a standout Airbnb experience.
The place itself was meticulously designed; literally everything inside was curated to contribute to a cohesive theme from the walls down to the flatware.
Of course, someone so attentive to detail would also be thoughtful about experience in addition to aesthetic.There are nice touches such as dimmable lights operable with a remote. But the part that was most notable was how friendly and communicative Pedro and Cait were. You can routinely find strongly envisioned and sharply executed layouts, but Pedro and Cait provided that and then put just as much effort into making sure we had a smooth and comfortable stay: messaging to make sure we arrived and settled in without problems, proactively providing recommendations for nearby restaurants, and checking regularly to ensure we had everything we needed.
Hotels can also offer well designed rooms with thoughtful touches; but Pedro, Cait, and the Nashville Pinky provide a clear example of what sets Airbnbs apart.
