Had a good time in the jungle cottage, basically never interacted with the owner at all during either check-in or check-out.
It seems that the owner no longer lives on premises and the main house is also on Airbnb, so the quality of your stay will depend on your neighbors, whose patio is about 20-30m away from your own. Ours would wake us up every morning to a loud argument, which killed the vibe a bit, but it wasn't altogether a deal breaker.
