Todd was easy to communicate with but the house is a bit quirky. It wasn't really clear from description but there is no kitchen or coffee/tea maker and no water provided except for the bathroom sink. So if you are someone who likes cooking breakfast like we do when we travel, it's not the place for you. There was a distinctive odor of dog throughout the house though when I asked the host about it he said no pets are allowed in the apartment. He said he would get the carpets cleaned and use air fresheners for future guests. He did say there is a dog in the attached apartment, so if you are sensitive to pets it may not be the best fit for you. The extra mattress is in the front entryway, so it's not a private room but was very warm despite being next to the front door. There was plenty of parking out front and Todd was very kind to leave books and toys out for our daughter.
