The host is very helpful and excellent communication. The house is easy to find, however, being locked in one room not sure who could be in the house watching you is creepy. The host did notify me of someone coming over so that was great. Just not the privacy I expected. We didn’t get a chance to use the pool because it was freezing but it was available. I was charged extra for early check in so they could prepare the room, however, I’m not sure what exactly had to be prepared. Seems like a rip off so if I was you I would just wait for normal check in.
