There is no communication with the host during the stay but that’s exactly what we want. Everything is ready for us: clean and comfortable bed, microwave, coffee machine and Salt Spring Island coffee, plates and folks. Enough towels for three nights use. The place is isolated and away from host’s house so you can have enough privacy. Only concern is the water pressure and temperature but it is not in a big city so totally understandable. Highly recommend to people who want to enjoy a quite and peaceful hideaway experience!
