Never met our host, she was absent but communicated by text. I try to always either stay in local Bed and Breakfast or AirBnB's when I travel. This was in a lovely location but not up to the standards that I expected after viewing the pictures and reading the reviews. The host needs to replace the worn out queen bed, bed pillows and comforter set with linens that are washable, replace worn out sofas and clean up the patio. Very nicely renovated kitchen area and flooring. Needs an air purifier to help with the "basement odor". Allow the guest to lock the door going into the garage from the bathroom. Never could locate the air conditioner thermostat but found a blanket! Had reservations for three nights but only stayed two because of the uncomfortable bed and basement odor smell.
