The great thing about AirBnB is that you can find places that excel on the dimensions you care about, possibly at a compromise on dimensions you don't care about. A hotel on the other hand has to cater to the masses, often a lowest common denominator.
Well, Luke's place excels on exactly the dimension I care about and if you have the same preferences as me you should stay here. What dimension? location. If you want to be able to open a window and smell the sea, to walk across the street and be on a beautiful beach, to have the sunrise cast an orange glow every morning, you will not find a more perfect place.
Compromises? Well, this is not luxury. Its dusty. Its a bit shabby. But everything works. And Luke is extremely responsive and he clearly cares.
I enjoyed my 2 week stay tremendously.
