Where do I start with Nick’s place! Okay, this was our first experience ever staying in an Airbnb and it couldn’t have been any perfect! I was a bit skeptical at first because you hear of so many bad reviews when it comes to staying in other people’s home but Nick truly understands hospitality, in every sense of the word. Before arriving, Nick made sure to communicate with us in regard to when we thought we were going to be arriving. Totaling forgetting about check in time (we were driving from Florida and forgot about the time change), without us having to ask, Nick set us up for an earlier check in!! [insert thoughtful gesture] Upon arriving to Nicks home, the first thing that caught our eye was how charming it appeared from the outside. It was located in what looked like a safe neighborhood and the check in process was super easy. We unlocked the door and immediately were in awe with how adorable his place looked (just like his pictures online!!) We took a look around and just fell in love with how comforting his place made us feel, and so fast. He had the heat on which gave the home a cozier feel. Oh, and let’s not forget the bottle of wine waiting in the kitchen for us! Yet another thoughtful gesture!! <3 After bringing our bags in I text Nick (he is available via text at all times and responds quickly) clarifying that downtown was only a short distance away? He responded stating it was only a 7 minute Uber drive, to have fun, and asked to text him if we needed anything (#winning). If you Uber, you don’t have to worry about paying for parking, FYI. It didn’t take us very long to drop our bags and head towards downtown which was amazing. Lots of bars and live music. MUST go to Tootsies! Fast forward through the night, after finally getting home all we wanted to do the next day was chill. With Frothy monkey (must go to coffee joint located in a hipster community named The Gultch right outside of downtown) for coffee the next morning, Hattie B’s for lunch, another must go-to place in the same area, and Okaua Ramen (we got it to go) for dinner all we wanted to do was sip on that wine Nick got us and watch a movie cuddled up on his super comfy couch and that’s EXACTLY what we did. It felt as if we were right at home! That was the the best part about staying at Nicks place, feeling as if we never left home ourselves. Our check out time was 11am and we were SUPPOSED to take it easy the day before our departure but of course day drinking caught up to us and with an 8 and a half hour drive ahead of us I went out on a whim and text Nick asking for a late check out if at all...
