Airbnb doesn’t not give you an exact location until the booking is confirmed. I have found it to be a bit of a gamble. “Central” can be relative. Central is bigger when you have a car. I have stayed in “central” places where I get to hike 45 minutes back and fourth from downtown.
When I received the directions to my place for 3 nights in Stockholm I thought I may have picked poorly and missed reading some fine print. I did not realize I had chosen to stay on a small island only accessible by boat. I was to take a subway line to the end and find a ferry under some bridge in a very industrial area. It did not look like a place I should be. I stood there for a bit thinking a really screwed this one up with a fancy dress couple show up. My relief to hear that I was at the right place to catch the correct ferry was less than brief when hearing that the last one ran 1/2 an hour ago.
Two other well dressed couples showed up bearing flower and wine. They all though it was bizarre that I would even be staying on this island. As luck would have it they were all going’s to a dinner party in the same island and the host was coing to pick them up in a speed boat. I hopped on board and zipped around to a few other ports picking up couples in their formal wear. I was labeled “the random dude”. They were super cool, amazing friendly, funny, and all gorgeous. I was just lucky.
