This was my first Airbnb experience. From the beginning Roland was very efficient and open with communication, as I was scheduled for a very late arrival from Los Angeles and I talked to Roland about a late check in. From the minute I arrived in his home and settled into my suite, I was impressed by the beauty of the house. The room was clean and he provided a pitcher of water and some snacks that was on the bed. It was such a nice warm welcome after a full night of traveling. His cat Japer was the first one I met in the morning and he was so friendly. I am more of a dog person, but Jasper was pretty cool. I didn't meet Roland until my second day at the house and he was friendly and so attentive to my needs as a guest. The house is beautifully decorated and the neighborhood is great. One of the reasons I decided on the Yellow suite is because it was located near Green Lake, where I jogged in the mornings and it is close proximity to university district where my friends live. The lake is less than a 10 minute walk and the area is surrounded by restaurants and shops which I took advantage of seeing. The house easy to navigate to from University district and the downtown area. Staying at the yellow suite and meeting Roland I didn't feel like a tourist who may be overwhelmed in a new surrounding. I felt I was living there for an extended weekend. Thank you Roland. I will be back in a few months and will definitely look up the yellow or green suite for my future stay.
