Alida was an amazing host! Kept great communication despite not being around that much. Ideal location and very sweet home. Being in the middle of winter, it got a little chill at night but I was able to stay perfectly warm in the blankets she provided. She has a fun array of animals, 2 cats and 2 dogs, which is ironic because I'm actually very allergic to cats (had my meds on hand), but didn't have any reaction whatsoever! I didn't mind them at all. If anything, it made my stay more entertaining. Overall very pleasant!
