Bret was a great host and gave tips on what to do n where to go, he evn let my husband use his longboard!!! He allows pets which a huge deal to us and he was absolutely great with them & kept his dog away if 1 of our dogs didnt like his. His dog is super sweet and playful very friendly. Having a washer n dryer was nice to have and he provided everything. I dont really have any complaints. To be clear tho ur is a back house/studio. So you are not totally alone if that's something you are looking for. Bret gave us our privacy tho and we do have a private entrance
