For my first air b and b stay this was an interesting experience. Jan was a really friendly host. The space was clean and quiet and she was thoughtful of many things. She shared some time offering me some whiskey and a coffee. There was as much privacy as I wanted and a clear helpful system laid out to know the best approach in the shared space area especially when it came to the pups who are cute. It was a new idea to message in advance upon my arrivals, but it actually worked well because the space was always fresh and ready for me when i came back to relax after a day in the city. Great for international travelers. Thumbs up.
