I love staying in unique Airbnbs and VRBO rentals. Whether or not they’re in Texas.
It’s such a great way to travel and get to see new parts of the world. The hosts usually put their own unique spin and personality into each rental.
Many times I’ve stayed at a rental that came with a guidebook written by the host on things to do, eat, and see nearby.
You don’t get that personal touch at a hotel! The guidebook is just one of the many personal touches (good) host add in their rentals.
