the view is amazing and we are glad to have our privacy since we are on a different floor from the host. The house is in a nice suburb to get around. However, it is a bit of a nuisance to have to keep lifting up and down the garage door when we go in and out-because the garage door is the only way to access the room. We were greeted by a big pingpong table and was intrigued to have a try but there did not seem to have any bats / balls around.
The dogs would bark every time we get in and out, which is no harm at all because they were confined on a different floor, still it is a bit annoying. At night time, I can hear dogs running around upstairs. Given the view and overall amenity, I guess it offset the little inconvenience. The host is friendly and helpful
