As a first time experience this host sets the standard high! Opens her home to you and clarifies any questions upon check in. She will even set you up with WiFi access code and driveway parking. Her guest room has a cute quaint feel to it with tour guides and maps available. Also, an extra blanket for cooler nights, ironing board, and iron. Cleanliness through her entire home is noticeable. Her dog is quite the gentleman and respects guest space and privacy (important to note: her home doesn’t have a dog scent; I have a sensitive nose too). She opens her kitchen and living space to you. I truly didn’t know she was home most of the time. Great value for your buck!
