Chris was a very gracious host starting from the moment we inquired about the location, amenities, etc. Communication with him was fast, courteous and very helpful given that this was our first Airbnb experience. Not only did he help us prepare for our trip but he also helped us work through the unfamiliar Airbnb processes a first time user encounters. His extra directions really helped with the few gaps Maps had, and the basement apartment was warm, clean, very comfortable and had all the amenities we asked for and more.

Finally, for those who have some trepidation about any B&B about "forced socialization" you can rest assured that Chris is there when you need him, friendly and willing to have a casual conversation or provide advice on local services, etc. but also keenly aware of a guest's desire for privacy. Tucked away in a quiet and charming neighborhood, this was the perfect setting for us to have a home away from home while visiting my son in college.
