Fantastic experience. I travel all around the world and this was a refreshing difference from the 5 star hotels I usually stay in. Key things: THE KITCHEN. The kitchen was equipped with sharp knives, cooking equipment, staples like salt sugar and pepper, a dishwasher, snacks and the host provided recommendations for places to shop for groceries. Being able to cook my own food was amazing.
THE INTERNET. Fast, reliable internet is rare indeed. It was great to have good connectivity and a desk in the livingroom I could work out of.
THE COMMUNITY: The host invited me to a farmers' market; she was available and inviting but did not impose. The neighbors went out of their way to welcome me to the apartment complex. The other airbnb people IN the place were fascinating and entrepreneurial. THE BEDROOM: everything from the comfortable bed to the woolskin carpet was perfect. There was even shampoo in the bathrooms so i didn't have to worry about anything. I highly recommend this place.
