The hosts were friendly and we spent about fifteen minutes chatting with them on the front porch. The home itself is beautiful and in a nice neighborhood with quality finishings.
However there were a few things that should be mentioned that I wished we had known beforehand. The first is that the space is a private room but the bathroom is shared with at least 1-2 other rooms. The tub was filled with random, opened shampoo bottles, not your typical organized-free-to-guests type set up. There was not a book to explain the set up and so you were left wondering if you were supposed to use the products. We opted not to as they seemed to belong to others. The room is also part of the family's regular living space and so we could hear cooking as we napped and children playing as we drifted off to sleep for the night. I feel like these aspects should be more transparent in the listing so that one knows what they are getting into. Communication was also very slow compared to other hosts we have stayed with. So overall, nice couple, clean room, not-so-perfectly clean bathroom, and a fairly close drive to downtown.The bed is still squeaking as well. I don't want to deter anyone from staying but do want to make it clear that it is not very private.
