We just got back from two nights away up the coast. Right before I booked the Airbnb I had found, I scanned through some reviews. Here’s one from Maggie back in March: “The experience went above and beyond any other Airbnb stay we’ve had before. The personal touches including home-baked bread and music playing upon...

“It’s about feeling good about what you do. Loving it. And sharing that with the world.” ^My friend Toby dropped this one on a group call.
