My best Airbnb experience, foreign or domestic.
The apartment is spacious, thoughtfully designed, well equipped, and aesthetically pleasing. A person can live here without feeling compromised about the quality of the cookware or the absence of a washer/dryer... Everything is nice including the cookware - the shower is nice, the bedroom is nice, the kitchen is nice… There’s plenty of comfortable room to work, read, or relax.
Jingzi and Chris were excellent hosts. Jingzi was responsive to any question or request. I felt like I was home - and that, to me, is the point of using Airbnb.
The neighborhood was just right including its scale. There are fantastic places to eat from fine dining to Indian Vegetarian, to “that great breakfast place with the awesome potatoes”, to a Whole Foods Market, all within a short walk. Walking, in fact, is a pleasure in this neighborhood, it’s verdant and full of character.
I never thought that anyplace would knock my top-two Airbnb’s out of their one and two spots. But, the Zen-Apartment in Amsterdam and “Valeria’s Place” in Como, Italy, have slid down a notch. The Modern Apartment at a Fantastic Location” is the reigning champ.
A big thank you to my hosts for creating this place and for allowing their fellow travelers to share it.
