Tao made us feel welcome with his prompt responses before our trip started, including a very helpful house manual. Tao was excellent at being fully available for communication. We felt welcome with the clean, bright, lovely home & the well stocked kitchen with bottled water, coffee, and basic seasoning for simple cooking & the family room and back yard were inviting. The listing description of the room and bathroom were accurate: cozy and clean. The neighborhood felt safe, quiet, and conveniently located near stores and restaurants. We met other guests who were staying in other rooms, and the experience was pleasant and friendly—really enjoyed meeting them.
