From the beginning Jake was very communicative and responsive. When we had a misunderstanding (my fault!) about our check-in, he was more than gracious. The house was as expected and was great value for the cost. Both Rose and Jake were very friendly, and I greatly enjoyed hearing from him about his work. The area around his home is very suburban and quiet, but there is a nice corner store one block away and bars/restaurants about 10 minutes afield. Overall, I would definitely stay again here.
