Although I've heard family and friends' experiences with AirBNB, this was my first booking and stay. Ruth's quick responses made the process effortless. From allowing us to bring our luggage to her home early (after disembarking from a cruise in the morning) to then allowing us to keep our luggage in her home hours after we vacated the room (due to a late afternoon flight); Ruth's hospitality surpassed expectations.
Walking into Ruth's home was like walking into a family member's home. You ring the doorbell, feeling like a guest, but when Ruth invites you inside, you feel warm and welcome. Whether she's regaling you with wonderful stories of her life adventures, or she's leaving you alone to "do your thing", Ruth is a charming hostess who graciously opens her lovely home and thoroughly enjoys meeting her guests.
