This place was AWESOME. Alan does a great job at maintaining a clean, well-furnished space. Everyone thought the space was beautiful, including two friends who stopped by to visit. The space is as presented, here are some addition highlights:

--Host: Alan was great. Checking in was very convenient and flexible with the side entrance, which was perfect to be able to drop my bags off even though Alan wasn't home. Alan always responded quickly over text message. There was also a minor outtage with one of the circuits, which he fixed immediately. He was very friendly and interesting to talk to, I have nothing but positive things to say about our interaction with him, he was a great host.
--Neighborhood help: Alan put together a resource guide
--Kitchen: olive oil, salt, pepper, spices and a variety of cooking tools/pots and pans to use
--Bathroom: good full size Conair hair dryer, shampoo, conditioner, clean towels (much appreciated so I didn't have to pack these things)
--Outdoor patio area by the pond was awesome. I used the space to do yoga which was really relaxing with the sound of running water
--Bedrooms: dark and quiet, plenty of closet space
