They are offering suggestions, and started a wish list for us on the Airbnb site. I'm probably a bit nervous about it simply because I've never used it, and I'm a certified (or certifiable, take your pick) expert at imagining nightmare scenarios. And, as I've gotten older, I've become a bit more cautious about some things. But, we are looking at some of the nicer places that have a lot of highly rated reviews, and I'm becoming a bit less nervous.
Yes, I agree that a small apartment sounds better for the length of time that we will be there; plus, a friend of ours from Switzerland will be joining us for a couple of days, and that will give us all plenty of room. We are trying to decide between a place in the old center of town, or one somewhere on the outskirts. We will be relying on public transportation, and each has its positives and negatives.
We have decided to add a couple of extra days at the beginning of the trip. The flight to Barcelona that we are looking at doesn't leave Boston until evening; it's a non-stop, and arrives mid-morning their time. Our time from San Francisco to Boston is a bit over 5 1/2 hrs., (not counting the time at the airport in S.F.). We'll spend a couple of nights in Boston to explore the city, and leave us less burned out when we get to our final destination.
Yes, I used Trip Advisor, in combination with Google Earth, to plan a 14-day road trip through the Southeastern U.S. about 5 years ago. The reviews helped immensely, and were accurate, and dropping into street-view mode on Google Earth helped me scope out the areas I was interested in.
So glad you commented, and offered some tips. I hope you will be able to make this trip in the future, as well. I always follow your posts in the Photo Group. You are highly regarded in that group, and your beach photography is always wonderful. Can I ask what camera you use? I hope you are well. Give some pats to Snowy for me.
