Kristen is about as delightful and generous a host as you could expect. This was my first stay at an AirBnB and I think she set the bar really high for future experiences. From the complementary bottle of wine and the chocolate she gave us to the excellent tips she provided, everything was terrific. I generally don't place much stock in overly positive reviews, but she deserves it.
The rooms are small, but comfortable and very nicely decorated. She has pretty much thought of everything, including hairdryers and outside blankets so we could sit outside in the lovely garden in the very chilly evenings. The garden has a lovely view of the city and with the fountain and lighting, it was just the chill that finally drove us inside. We didn't use the kitchen much, but it had everything and then some had we wanted to do so. My daughter and son-in-law appreciated the coffee (and cream) and I was happy to see many different kinds of tea. The bathroom is quite small, but Kristen has come up with an ingenious way of providing some extra space. The shower is likewise small, but has a great shower head and plenty of hot water.
The Magnolia District has lovely houses and is really nice just to wander around. We enjoyed a few good meals in the area. It's a good location, about a $35 Lyft ride from the airport. We didn't rent a car, instead choosing to use Lyft/Uber. Seeing the traffic patterns and the parking prices in the city proper, it was a good choice to my mind.
It was a short stay, just 3 nights, but we had a great time and felt that Kristen's place would beat out just about any hotel.
