Does Size Really Matter?
Scenario: You and your significant other are traveling to a vacation destination by car and will be staying in a STR. One rental is a larger home, let's say 2:1. It allows you to spread out and really make you feel at home. Heck, you can even sleep in separate bedrooms if you get on each other's nerves! The only drawback? You have a short drive to…(nearby restaurants, museums, ski lift, beach access, or whatever).
The other rental option is the same price and decorated the same. However, it’s a 1:1. A bit more cramped but doable. You better like your significant other because there’s no escaping and you can’t bring anyone extra at the last minute because there’s not even a pullout couch. But it’s steps away from… (listed above)!! No driving required besides getting there.
Which is more important to you? Space or location?

My husband and I used Airbnbs a lot. Space is not an issue unless we are inviting friends to join us.
