Johns place is a downstairs apartment/finished den below his place with a separate entrance through the back door, down a small set of stairs. Although it seemed like our own place, we could still hear some noise in the evenings coming from upstairs, but not an unnecessary amount or extremely loud. I often search airbnbs with “entire place” filters for a more private stay, but this is not what I would consider its own place in its entirety.
Even so, we had a great time and John was extremely accommodating and responsive and the apartment was clean and just what we needed for our short stay. The winter months in Montana are cold, and the place was very well heated and we always had hot water and plenty of cookware for cold mornings when we stayed in for morning breakfast and complimentary coffee. John provided towels, soap, hair dryer, extra blankets, and local restaurant recommendations. He was quick to respond and we would definitely recommend staying here based on our experience.
