I was happy to find affordable accommodations close to my business meetings, and looked forward to a stay in a Craftsman home. Lisa's biographical details caught my eye, too. Kindred spirit? Yes!
As advertised, the memory foam-topped bed was comfortable, the morning coffee the best I've tasted, and the early 20th c. neighborhood enchanting. The resident dog was mellow; such a sweetie. The vibe is peaceful, relaxed and homey. I had the needed space and time to prepare for a business presentation.
I am comfortable with keeping quietly to myself, but am also open to the chance of interactions: a time to learn how others live, what they've done, where they've journeyed, and what energizes them. (Isn't this human element a reason many of us choose Airbnb?) Such an openness is evident, here. The conversations with Lisa and Gordon will linger in memory. I am happy to have met them, and hope to return for a future stay.
