Ira contacted me via a few days beforehand with clear instructions on gaining entrance to her place on the agreed upon day. Once there, I was impressed with how quickly she responded to any issues. Even though she was out of the country and in a distant time zone, where it was the early morning hours, Ira got back to me very quickly when I communicated via DM about a minor issue. She checked in with me on her own several times to make sure all was well. She was personable and friendly, pretty much everything you'd hope for from a host. I recommend her and her place happily. I hope I will have similar luck with future AirBnB's.
