I didn't meet Ruth or Vinny as they were away but the communication leading up to my last minute stay was excellent. Their daughter met me when I arrived and was very welcoming, as were one of their sons I met and the others in the house.
The room as a good size, nice and clean and perfect for my needs. As per the description it can be quite busy but it does work as long as you are willing to be friendly and respectful of others. If you are open and willing to have a chat it's a great place to stay!
