KAB: Airbnb Overrated

Awesome king-size mattress and repurposed material for bedding. Plenty of space and solitude. We did not even notice the passing trains!

** Two weeks ago

We suspect this “historic Panhandle building” is really a recycling center trying to supplement grant funding. Will look for better eco chic options next time in town.

The bedroom, featuring cardboard bale walls, was roomy though the mattress seemed a little too broken in. And part of the fruit cup contents at the breakfast bar may have been missing.

Arrived early and was asked to volunteer sorting curbside recycling bags to earn a lower weekend rate. Thought we’d give it a go then left upon finding a dirty diaper and rotten taco. Yuck! KAB Airbnb overrated!

Wow, the Airbnb work dream again. Actually, that enormous quilted-top mattress somebody left went to the loose fill section of the Alliance Municipal Landfill last week. I think someone took the doors home. That toilet was no good and there is already a functional one at the Keep Alliance Beautiful recycling center. Rodney may charge us to take that odd tire left in a bag – so it wouldn’t get wet? None of the televisions dumped after hours worked. Who ever heard of spending the night in a recycling center anyway? Crazy.

Dixie Nelson loads a mattress dumped outside the recycling center into a KAB pickup bound for the landfill. Please stop by the center or call 308-763-1410 to determine whether we are able to accept your materials.
