Our host sent us a reminder a couple of days before our rental began, and we were asked to log on to the airbnb app to let our host know our updated ETA. Using a combination of the app and phone during our drive, we kept in good contact and our host met us at the house. He showed us around, room by room and around the yard, and let us know how to find things. He was very friendly and helpful. We felt that we were filled in about what we needed to know. The house and yard were as described in the ad and very nice for the three of us. Living room, deck, kitchen, bedrooms, carport, yard - all comfy and inviting.
