This was my first time booking a location that was not the entire home and the host was present. Jane is a great host , awesome communication, sweet, and keeps things clean. However... I was not aware that the host would be IN the space that I am renting out; that was not clear. I rented the back house and backyard/pool area for a small gathering of MAYBE 14 people for a birthday "party". Upon arrival she was doing laundry and throughout the entire day which is in the space where guests and food are...and this is a birthday party. Check in is at 2pm, I arrived around 2:30 she informed me that she is going to "hang out" and drink coffee in the pool and jacuzzi for awhile. Internally I was taken back because I paid to have the pool and jacuzzi for the day , I didn't realize we'd be "sharing" it. Several times she came out walking through people to get her laundry. I wasn't offended until she walked right in front of the birthday boy through guests while he was opening gifts in front of everyone; it was rude to be honest and disrupted the whole energy; everyone was so confused at her presence. She informed me the music was too loud once and her neighbors would complain; I adjusted it, but it was barely 8:30pm. Quiet hours is after 10. Im not going to lie, I was not perfect either. A guest of mine got pretty loud after hours looking for lost keys and I apologized for the noise, I didn't correctly turn off the pool heat and I also left an item in her garage which she graciously allowed me to come and get any time. I went to get it and but it was not in the area she informed me it would be so I just took it as a loss. Honestly it wasn't a terrible experience, its a decent place, maybe my expectation was just wrong .
