Russ is an excellent host. If you are new to airbnb, this is the way to go. This was my first time staying at a home with the host there and he exceeded all my expectations. Check in/ check out was a breeze, and the place was exactly as described. Clean, quiet, cozy. He even had a nice smelling candle lit and tangerines sitting out for us to snack on. Russ was quick to respond to any questions in a friendly manner. He also gave us several suggestions of where to visit which made our trip that much more special. Not to mention he washed our dishes for us! Highly recommend this host.
