Carl is an amazing host! His home is welcoming, warm, peaceful, comfortable, convenient, stylish, with necessary and extra provisions, along with personal touches to make you feel at home. Carl provides DETAILED check-in procedures, stay guidelines, parking instructions, and local tips. During my stay, it was not necessary for me to meet with him, so I never did; but he made himself available by phone for emergencies, and he kept in prompt contact with me through Airbnb messaging when necessary. There are reasonable quiet times, starting at 10pm, to be observed, so if you are loud night-person, you may not be an optimal guest. The room in which I stayed was next to another, and I could kind of hear their normal-volume conversation, so that may be something for you to consider. But, aside from that, Carl has a wonderful place with everything you need (unless you're a person with out-of-the-ordinary travel needs), and it is in a great location. This was my FIRST Airbnb experience, and it was EXCELLENT. Thanks, Carl!
