Ryan was very communicative both before and during my stay and left me without a single question or concern. He is a great host and it felt more like staying with a friend than a stranger. The house has lots of character and for those who want everything shiny and new, this is not your place, but you would be missing something unique and besides, the bathroom and kitchen are equipped with the latest everything. The photo of the wine room is exactly what it is. My only slight quibble is the route to the bathrooms, either up one flight of stairs or down another. Overall, highly recommended and great value.
