This host is very friendly and responds very promptly. The house was easy to find, it’s in a lovely neighborhood, and the room is clean and comfortable (it’s quite small, but perfect for a short stay for one or two people, especially if like us you’re mostly just planning to sleep and shower there). I always wonder about the categorization of certain stays as “entire place” or as “self check-in.” To me this place seemed more like a room-in-a-house kind of stay and it definitely wasn’t self check-in. We were greeted by the host and walked through the main house to the room. It is very separate in that it has a private bathroom that you don’t need to leave the room for, the door to the main house can be locked, and the room has an outside entrance you can leave from. It wasn’t a huge issue, I just prefer to share these details because when I choose self check-in or entire place in my searches, I’m usually looking for little to no face-to-face contact with hosts and an easy in-and-out independent of them, usually because I know I’ll be tired and getting in late.
