Although I did not meet the host, the check in process was super easy! I liked the fact that she left a key attached to a wristband so that you could lock the room as you leave. I arrived early in the morning from the club and as soon as I walked in the house I felt the heater warm me up! I thought it was very kind of her to do that. She was kind enough to allow me to park in the drive way as well. Would stay again.
