I felt welcomed by Tanya from the first email contact. I explained that I was needing the accommodations for a work training, and she was fine with having a local person as a guest. She is a fun, warm, well traveled woman who seems to genuinely enjoy having guests in her beautiful home. She made sure that I had all I needed for my stay these past several nights. The experience was so good that I plan to return for 3 nights this coming week!
