The host sent messages to me but unfortuantely I did not have my notifications on and didn't see until now but he seems to have great communication as other reviewers mention. Very convenient lockbox check in/out, lots of street parking.
The listing mentions you'll be on the Garden View floor which makes you think the unit is a part of the ground floor but the rental space is actually in the basement. It's important to know if you are traveling for business as I had to take all of my calls outside the house because I didn't have reception.
The listing does mention there would be some noise due to kids running around and that is something to consider as I am a deep sleeper and was woken up by it. I'm not a fan of noise machines but think it's nice of the host to offer that.
The one thing that was hard to deal with was how cold the unit was as there is no temperature control that is separate from the main house. It was so cold we had to wrap ourselves in blankets while we worked on our laptops. We even used the heater unit and had to switch it between rooms because both of us couldn't handle the cold. When I plugged it in, the sensor on the heater indicated the temperture was under 65 degrees, it felt like it was probably around 58-60 degrees. Since it's the middle of summer we didn't have any warm clothes with us so it was a bit unpleasant. We started to refer to the unit as "The Igloo."
I would recommend bath mats for the shower and the sink as the tiles are very cold to stand on.
For check out they ask you to remove all your sheets and pillow cases which I wasn't expecting since there is a $75 cleaning fee.
Overall good value because the neighborhood was pleasant, ample parking and the lockbox check in/out was very convenient. Host's family from what little contact we made seemed nice.
