Having never AirBnb'd before, I wasn't sure what to expect. After staying at Kris & Claudia's, the bar has been set high.
Their home was very clean, the guest bed was comfy, and various personal hygiene products were provided, like toothpaste. This was really thoughtful, as I couldn't bring my regular, larger tube of toothpaste on the airplane. Closet space and a desk/chair in the guest room were great, too. Kris & Claudia's home is in a pleasant neighbourhood situated a close walk or Uber to downtown. The keyless entry and private Nest thermostat were great touches, as well.
Hotels have serious competition.
