Our host did make us feel welcome. They were prompt in answering the door and had us settled pretty quick. The access to the bungalow was nice and didn't feel like it was intruding on our hosts whenever we came back from the convention. Having things like the mini fridge and Keurig in the room made it easy to have things ready to go for our trips to the convention(such as cold water bottles) and the room had a nice private cozy hotel feel.
