This was the best Airbnb experience my partner and I have ever had, and possibly also the best and most memorable trip we've ever had in general.
Checking in and checking out was smooth and contactless with an electronic keypad door lock. Bob was very responsive and flexible regarding our arrival times and delays.
The place looked new, clean, and welcoming with its numerous windows letting in lots of natural sunlight. The place was spacious enough that my partner and I could easily have simultaneous work meetings and video calls without disturbing each other.
Wayzata was charming and peaceful, and we took long walks along the lakeside, visited the local shops, and got free gelato at one of the high-end restaurants. The streets were quiet at night so we could sleep without disturbance from the sounds of traffic or shouting outside that we usually hear back at home. Since the bed had two separate heated blankets with controls for different heat settings, we didn't have to compromise on a single temperature.
My favourite part of the place was the kitchen. It was stocked with spices, cooking implements for making all sorts of cuisines, and a gas stove. All in all, it was nicer than the kitchen I use at home and we made 3 course meals and cinnamon buns. We saved a lot of money this trip cooking in the Airbnb instead of eating out, and the food was healthier and better too. It helped that the grocery store and Walgreen's were only a 5 minute walk from us.
In the evenings, we curled up under blankets in the living room watching TV. They had Netflix, Youtube, Disney Plus, and a bunch of other streaming services, but then I figured out how to connect my laptop to the TV to play shows I downloaded specifically for the trip.
My partner's favourite part of the trip was probably the shower. The bathroom is quite spacious and luxurious with heated towel warmers and a shower with an overhead rainfall setting and retractable seating. It's good for older folks too in that there are multiple handlebars and the aforementioned seat.
Bob and Terresa were very welcoming and accommodating. They were communicative and flexible and went above and beyond to help us iron out some flight complications we had in our trip and told us about sites to see in the local area. Regretfully, we didn't get to go to the Wayzata Art Experience, art museum, or farmer's market because the timing didn't work out, but we hope to return soon and experience even more that Wayzata has to offer.
