Ryan said he is new to hosting. There were several issues that needed addressing and he responded each time. (At times I felt like I was the Beta tester, but I wanted him to succeed. ) Ryan was responsive and respectful. The house was very quiet. I loved the refillable Keurig container which used regular coffee grounds. Kitchen was adequately equipped. We had to buy additional salt and pepper for cooking since only small shakers were provided. The biggest problem we had was the infestation of gnats. They came from the plants and were in every room of the house. Also, the large bamboo plant had to be tied back so as not to be hit in the head each time we walked past. The house fit my needs for this trip. Ryan was a good host and will no doubt improve with more experience.
