My philosophy is, they have chosen to rent an apartment because they want to be somewhere that isn't so terribly sterile, like hotels are. I mean, I choose airbnb exactly for the lived in feeling!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556494314801577420.post-74977438672226852382013-06-28T01:46:22.372-07:002013-06-28T01:46:22.372-07:00I love airbnb.

I love to have the option to cook for myself, and to have a place to go "home" to, if I need a break during the day. Both times in Brussels and in Paris the apartment owners were there too, which didn't bother me at all. They showed me where everything was, how everything worked, and then pretty much left me to do my own thing. I appreciated meeting the people who live there and I enjoyed talking with them. They let me use any of their teas or coffee, and in Paris breakfast was provided, which was nice, but not totally necessary. I think just access to jams and butter would have been enough because then I don't have to buy new jars for just a couple days' use. I think your idea to rent out your flat while you go away is a brilliant idea! Have fun in Paris!<br />-CCJAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
