Our host made us feel welcome and explained some things about the room and then did not appear at all. We appreciated how unobtrusive she was, although she was available by text to answer any questions that came up. We had access to the lovely back yard and pool, which were serene as advertised. The neighborhood is quiet and residential. In light of the heat wave, it was great to be able to set our own AC unit. This was our first AirBnB experience and definitely not our last.
