Ben is an absolutely lovely and friendly host. What I really appreciate the most is his responsiveness to questions and his attention to detail. Ben goes the extra mile to ensure that his guests have a comfortable stay. As advertised, the house is opposite the train tracks and one would be able to hear the train each time it passes by. I'm not a very deep sleeper and was surprised that this didn't affect me much. Also appreciate the ear plugs and white noise machine that Ben provided - I ended up not having a need for them!
