Kevin is a super friendly, outgoing and nice person. It didn't really felt for me and my friend living wih a random host. It was more like living with a roommate. I'm sure that he would also just respect your privacy if you're not that outgoing! But we were lucky to chat with him:) the backyard is super nice for a relaxing evening! We really enjoyed our stay at his place. The room and neighborhood is great. So go ahead and book it. I'm actually pretty picky about where and with whom I'm staying but that was for sure a good decision.
