Due to an abrupt change in travel plans, I didn’t know I’d be needing an Airbnb until the week of. Despite this fairly last minute booking, Kit didn’t miss a beat. From the start, she was gracious, communicative, and engaged, making sure that I would be well taken care of during my brief stay. She truly went above and beyond, even inviting me to join her for lunch and see a bit of the city once I arrived. (Side note: if you’re in the area during summer, SeaSalt is worth a visit; I didn’t know I needed calamari tacos in my life until they crashed blessedly in, changing my gustatory standards forever).
Her home is cozy, fascinatingly decorated, and well equipped with toiletries, linens, and all kinds of things to read. The feather bed treated me quite well after a long day of travel, as did Kit’s two lovely and wonderfully affectionate cats. This was also my first Airbnb with breakfast actually included, and my, did I feel spoiled. Lovely coffee, lovely food, lovely host. Though this was a bit more expensive than what I might normally pay for an Airbnb (I’m a grad student; we can’t exactly afford to be picky), the quality of my stay was well worth the price, especially given how last minute my booking was. I would gladly stay with Kit again!
