Compare places for my daughter's festival trip, including the walk home at night

Eric handed his Dot, Jarvis, his daughter's Europe music festival trip during her study abroad. Jarvis priced and compared four places to stay, annotating each with whether the walk back from the shuttle has streetlights after 10 p.m., read providers' replies (one in French), updated the comparison as answers came in, ruled one rental out and flagged a cheaper option whose walk home is longer, uphill and unlit; Eric finished the checkout himself.

This only partly worked. Read what happened before you try it.

How it works

  1. Take the trip details, people and budget
  2. Price four lodging options
  3. Annotate each with streetlight coverage for the walk back from the shuttle after 10 p.m.
  4. Email providers and the girls
  5. Read replies, including one in French
  6. Update the comparison and rule one rental out
  7. User completes checkout himself

Why it’s worth knowing

The comparison graded each stay on whether a young woman walks home on a lit street, unprompted by any checklist.
