Very nice host. The rental itself is more of a studio-apartment converted from a house. There's no division between bedroom and living area/kitchen. This posed an issue with us having two little children and internal noise. Also, you can hear the noises from above the unit coming from the house. It is located somewhat near Asheville, so commuting wasn't an issue for us. Not much in the way of views/scenery. Check in/out was easy. Communication was great.
