From the other reviews, it seems that Annarita is usually home when she hosts. When I stayed Annarita was out of town and as such there was certain information that was not passed on to me that had she been at the house I'm sure would have been passed along. For example, the key to the gate has to be held at a specific angle to get in, there's a hot water tank that needs to be turned out to get hot water in the shower. Little things like that. Location was great! And Annarita was very quick to respond to my messages.
