new friends

Ahoy,

It rained just about the whole time we were in Lyon. But it was an incredibly pleasant stay. I selected a room from the airbnb website. It was the first time we used airbnb. There's a certain degree of risk or trust when you decide to stay in a room in a strangers house. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. The room and bed was comfortable, everything worked. Sometimes there was breakfast or whatever they were cooking at the time. The host was amazing. We suspect he has genie blood. He performed some function of a miracle to help us get to Rome, and let us stay an extra night free of charge. It might be better than a hotel because we got full access to kitchen and pantry, laundry, conversation with locals. It was like staying at a friend's house. I'm sure not every experience is like this, but this was a fantastic first time with airbnb.

drizzily awestruck,
jt
