Al is a great host. The accommodations are clean and pretty, and you are allowed to set the temperature to your own comfort level. Good lighting and extra amenities like the use of a fridge, microwave, kettle and tea packets, etc., were nice touches. Wifi was solid.
The weather did not cooperate (it snowed) but Al came to the rescue, letting me borrow winter gear. Just a note, the bathroom is actually down the hall from your bedroom, next to the host's workspace. All in all, it was a pleasurable experience for a good price.
