This was our first experience with Airbnb and it was a great one! Elie is the perfect host - he is there if you need something, but he gives you your privacy. We felt extremely comfortable! We have stayed in many hotels, and there is something cold and impersonal about them compared to staying here. There are the homey touches that you just don't have in hotels: books that have obviously been chosen with care, and furnishings that spell comfort and chic. We're going to be using Airbnb from now on whenever we can!
