I never met the hosts but they were quick to respond to texts. Loved the deck and the bed was super comfortable - nice fluffy pillows :-). The other guests were quiet and there was no problem with sharing a bathroom. Convenient to have access to a mini fridge and microwave. Coffee maker was available but only instant coffee, teas, and non-dairy creamer so I used the coffee maker to make hot water for my coffee in the morning. I also used my own mug that I happened to have brought, since the only other option was red Solo party cups.
