Host easy to work with in English. Provided everything we needed except shampoo and soap for the shower. He made up for this by providing great coffee with a French Press, excellent tea selection (sugar cubes were a nice touch) and everything we needed to wash dishes and our clothes. Kitchen surprisingly well stocked for a rental unit. Place was very clean and nicer than expected from photos. Washer and dryer were nice to have, but you should know you have limited hours from AM until 10 PM.
