The hosts were very prompt and responsive in communications prior to my arrival, and during my visit. They were welcoming despite my late arrival my first night, and gave me just the right among of information to orient me to their home, 'hood and community. I felt safe walking around the neighborhood at night. The room was private and quiet. I slept more in this bedroom than I do at home! There are a dog and cat that liked to visit the bedroom. I like to sleep with my door open, but because of the animals I kept it closed.
