No, it’s not the latest Bravo reality show. It’s the tale of two Business Insider reporters on a work trip, seeking respite in a tiny Airbnb in Charlottesville, Virginia, after a day of rigorous fast-food investigating.
Booking the tiny home raised questions: Would it be a charming retreat or a cramped nightmare? Could two colleagues survive in such close quarters without tension? And, crucially, was there a bathroom?
Our expectations were quickly overturned upon arrival. Nestled in our Airbnb host’s backyard, the tiny home greeted us with its quaint cottage charm.
