I felt welcome even before I arrived. We communicated via email and that was helpful. I chose his place for 3 main reasons. First was the proximity to my son's apartment second was the price. And third, the photo. He helped me figure out the closeness to my son's place. This townhouse/room was everything and more than I expected. It was my first time booking airbnb and I was pleased with the process. Amenities-perfect. Quiet. Cleanliness-perfect. I will probably return.
