Ben's house has a lot of charm with nice artwork, in a quiet neighborhood. It's obvious that he invested in many modern upgrades that makes the house very practical for travelers (e.g. full kitchen, charging stations, laundry facilities, multiple TVs, new windows, etc.) without losing the older house charm (e.g. wood floors). Ben quickly responded to inquiries and was friendly.
Hot water tip: as Ben points out, the hot water is from an "on-demand system," which worked fine for the shower (after the hot water arrives), but the trick for keeping the hot water coming, especially for the kitchen sink, is to not turn it off until done. If you temporarily turn the water off, it gets cold again right away. At least that was our experience. Not a problem once you get the hang of it.
