We are Airbnbers for many reasons. We like living like a local wherever we travel, in neighborhoods where real people live; the unique feel of living spaces different from our home but that are still homey and comfortable, that feel like we live there while we are there; the connection to real people with perspectives on a new geography and demography who can help orient us to the best of or most intriguing opportunities; the adventure of trying on a new context to shake up our thinking and keep us open to new ideas; the sense of shared space but respectful, private sanctuary. We have stayed in many airbnbs with some of these characteristics, a few with most of them. Kimber’s place has them all. On top of all that is the space itself. It is like being permitted to stay overnight in an eclectic, enchanting museum or art gallery, but with full permission to engage with the art. And the art – from the floors, ceiling, walls, windows and views, furniture, colors, doors, as well as the actual art and the design of how it all fits together – is authentic in materials and function, incredibly spacious and airy and absolutely stunning, yet comfortable and easy. The photos cannot do this home justice. Kimber was home while we were there, and although busy in her extensive workshops out back and below, was open to occasional conversation and connection. After living in this space for a few days, it is impossible not to get a sense of who she is, and the amazing work she has done and is doing. We will be back.
