The host had great communication! and the BACKYARD we loved it! I have never been in a AirBnB that was so homie so it was a bit different than what I'm use to. This is her home not an extra property so the space has all of her personal belongings in it. This wasn't a problem just different. You will get cat hair on you a little bit but was expected , she already mentioned she had a cat. Overall this was perfect for our weekend and our pups had a blast!
