As a host, Christie was great. She was very responsive to questions we had and welcomed us with yummy treats! Her home was clean and offered more than enough space for our family of four. I love her eclectic taste in decor, although it took a little extra effort on our part to make it toddler-friendly. The only reason I am not giving it 5 stars is because it lacked a dining space, which made it somewhat tricky to feed our 1 and 3 year old children. I didn't want them to eat on the furniture, so they sat at the desk, or we laid out a blanket and had picnics on the living room floor. Had I realized when reserving that I didn't see a photo of a dining room table, I would have asked about it, but we didn't have a lot of time or options left. We made the best of it and would still consider staying there again. It was in a nice neighborhood with friendly neighbors. All in all, a great experience!
