Staying at Adam and Arthur’s house was like a boutique hotel but with infinitely better hospitality, service and accommodations. This was my first time using Airbnb, but they clearly went above and beyond what was expected. I was talking to another first-time Airbnb guest, who was staying in the room across the hall, and we agreed – if we could get a guarantee that every host would be like Adam and Arthur, we’d never stay in a hotel again.

Their house is conveniently set up with guests in mind. Right when I walked in, the house smelled good with candles burning above the fireplace. I loved the style and décor of the room, which had a luggage rack in the closet, along with towels, hangers, an extra blanket and four more pillows. The bed was so comfortable that I didn’t want to get up in the morning – and I’m what you might call a “picky sleeper.”

I really enjoyed the neighborhood, too. Mississippi Avenue was fun to explore with great little artisan shops and restaurants. You’ve got to order pizza and ice cream at Lovely’s Fifty Fifty. There is a bus stop nearby that’ll get you downtown in 30 minutes.

All in all, I stayed four nights, and by then, it was starting to feel like home.
