This is the best airbnb I've ever stayed in, a place that makes you feel like you are embedded in a neighborhood and making a connection with actual human beings who just happen to hospitality geniuses. It's kind of a magical best-of-both worlds. Airbnb has a strong push to just give everything 5 stars if it is "as described", making it hard to zero in on the places that are really amazing places. This place genuinely is a 5-star place.
So let's start:
1) Thoughtful, beautifully designed space with a mix of contemporary and handmade furniture. I've stayed in places that look chic enough in pictures, and are bit shabby in person. If anything, this place looks even better in person.
2) Living room designed so you could watch TV from the couch or the bed (genius).
3) Nice toiletries that rival what you might have at home.
4) All needs anticipated and provided for. We didn't cook but I often do at Airbnbs and it looked like cooking here would be a pleasure.
5) All our interactions with the host were pleasant and fun. We talked about music, movies, and his collection of old science fiction novels!
One note: if you are light sensitive, this place is LUMINOUS in the morning and you cannot black it out like a hotel room. There is an unshaded skylight directly above the bed.
