The hosts Annette and Edward were communicative, and responsive but gave you privacy. Annette was very helpful giving tips about the area. I so appreciated the extra touches-I had a 6 hr. drive, the hosts left snacks and coffee/tea etc. so I didn't need to seek these things out right away. Everything you need is provided for a kitchen, washer/dryer, internet.fios, really lovely and very clean, and pretty studio. Truly lovely hosts.
