Clear and concise communication made in advance to our arrival set expectations and allowed for us to stay in a way that felt authentic to our habits of travel. Admittedly, we had super odd hours (early mornings and late nights) and having key-in doors and a separate entrance helped us to not feel "monitored". Our hosts never forced face-to-face interactions. The door was open for questions and concerns if we had any, but we fortunately, we never needed to use that clearly available resource.
Thank you for providing a homey landing pad to get re-centered as we prepared for and participated in a robust wedding week!
