Elvin is a great host. Check-in is independent so you don't need to schedule a specific time with him, just show up when you get into town. Although the host doesn't live at the location, he responds quickly to messages and is also present at the house often to address any issues. Elvin is just starting out in the Airbnb business, so he's very open to suggestions to make sure the guests enjoy their stay. The room was a decent value, exactly what we needed for the month-long stay and it was in a great location.
