I had a great time. The place was as the photos depicted it, except for the surprise staircase that leads up to the main house above. No one ever came down so I had my privacy, but it was a surprise.
The wall heaters & portable heater do a great job of keeping the space toasty warm, even with the very cold weather we had this weekend. The beanbag chair is very comfortable.
The hot water pressure for the shower is fairly weak and very touchy between scalding and cold, but if you fiddle with, it's plenty good to get clean.
Overall, interaction with the host was minimal, quick, and friendly, just as I wanted, and the place was a great value. I would stay here again! :)
