~airbnb - after hip surgery

July 31, 2017
 Airbnb 293 W 100 S Provo, UT  84601 
This is the front of the house that we stayed in.  It's in a great location - 
an easy drive (or walk) to anywhere in Provo or the surrounding area!  
It is especially close to the Provo Center Temple, which I loved!
Our entrance was here on the side.  I was worried to bring Bill home since 
our studio apartment was in the basement but there was a stair rail and a 
cement block on the opposite side so it was safe and sturdy for Billy.
We were greeted with a little goodie basket, free of charge, which was really sweet and kind!
This little place was adorable but tiny - I mean tiny in the most literal sense.  That being said, I must say that for such a small space they used the area effectively and efficiently to squeeze in all the necessities.  There wasn't a lot of space for our clothes, toiletries, bags, etc., but for someone who is just staying for a few nights it is an excellent choice.  Staying in so many different Airbnb's I've learned that if we ever have one in our home that it is imperative to take out any extra and/or personal items of all kinds from the rooms. This will help give the tenants more ownership and more room for their items.
Our situation was a little different as we stayed for 3 weeks while Bill healed from Hip Replacement Surgery.  My son Robbie, who is 6'2" bumped his head a couple times on the pipes that came down from the ceilings in many places.  We were able to use the space under the bed to store a few things. 
These are all "mini/junior" appliances - the CUTEST! Most of the cupboards 
were filled with dishes and appliances so we just put all our groceries in the fridge.
Since Bill would be recovering from hip surgery I was going to catch up on paper work but 
ended up putting all the extra groceries, clothes and boxes in the little space off the kitchen.  
Again, we were long term residents and had much more things to store than the average 
person. A bonus was there were washer/dryers just outside our door! So convenient!
