Exactly what we needed. Gave wonderful recommendations for our stay, before we even got there. Was very accommodating. Was not at all overbearing and gave us our space, offering to meet only if we wanted to (which we would’ve been happy to if there was time!). Great responsiveness. Appropriate amount of space (one bedroom with private bath and private entrance. Also private patio with a little seating area to use if desired). Provided towels, small store of dishes/silverware and a mini fridge. TV if you want one. Couple of armchairs and a tall table. Good neighborhood, not sure about walkability since we had a car and drove to most things, but seemed to be close by some good areas. Parking wasn’t an issue at all. We checked in late the first day after a long day of hiking/exploring but he made sure we were prepared ahead of time despite us not having service to contact him before we got back in town. He anticipated our needs and sent us a message that got to us by the time we were back in the service area. Check-in was with a code box that made things simple for us. Note that the patio looks a tiny bit different than the photo, but check-in with host if unsure regarding location.
Only “drawbacks” for me was a little noise from footsteps overhead (which rarely happened, so really wasn’t an issue at all) & the bed. My partner had no issues sleeping, so it was perfectly fine for him! Just a little hard for me so woke up a bit uncomfortable in the mornings (His body is also straighter and more heavy/muscular, so might’ve contoured better to his body? Or just a coincidentally bad time for me and the hips). However, the host had provided some extra pillows & blankets in the closet that I used under my sides, and that fixed the problem!
Would recommend this spot. We were worried about doing a shared space, but this was even better than we’d hoped. He was a great, caring host, and it showed in his communications! Good experience all around.
