I didn't actually meet the host, I met with their family member. Communication was easy though. Clear directions were given and they met us not too far from the water taxi stop. They even helped with our bags which was very helpful since, as the listing states, you do have to go up to the 3rd floor; so there's quite a bit of stairs. Once we arrived at the place though we could see why it got so many high reviews. The place is beautiful and well equipped. It's in close walking to distance to everything. I would definitely stay here again.
