It was great to stay at Daryl's! I was by myself, and it was all good, he's really respectful of how you want to stay - you can choose to come and discuss or just stay in the room. I really liked the open check-in and check-out experience as I could sleep in on my last day, and that was pretty good :D !
The house is an experience by itself with the great tall windows, and all the architectural photos around drawn by Daryl himself over the years. There was another guest in the house, which was nice for me from a social perspective, especially since I was by myself.
It's a similar experience to sleeping in a family friend's home that you've never met before.
