The host was quick to respond to my several questions, including flexibility with my arrival and leaving. Private bedroom and bathroom on own floor felt like a nice quality hotel room without the expensive hotel price. Nice modern walk-in shower, tv, mini fridge and cozy soft mattress. Great place for folks traveling with a little one---Ella has all the child-proof plugs and gates, etc. I was staying during the weekend and could definitely hear the rambunctious play of the host family children and their friends when they ran back and forth past my room. I personally didn't mind it though and all was quiet during night time hours. I point this out, because if you cannot tolerate children, this place is probably not going to be your first choice.
