Renee was a fabulous host. The property was exactly as described, and there was a welcome kit set up for me with a handwritten letter, snacks, a bottle of water, a towel, etc. Their little dog is absolutely adorable, and they really did make me feel welcome from start to finish.

It shouldn't be as rare as it is these days to meet a stranger that is so open and friendly that they greet you and take you into their home like an old friend. Even though it is a paid service, their kindness and hospitality really did show through. I didn't have many interactions with them since the hours I kept had me out late, but every conversation we had was friendly, and only added to my trip.

I was there to visit friends I hadn't seen in years, and I wound up making two more.
