This spot is great. It is just like the photos, if not better. I only interacted with Melissa and John at check-in and they seem lovely. A few things to be aware of: it is a basement and you can definitely hear life going on above your head (footsteps, muffled conversation, etc.). It is on a quiet street but behind the house is a fairly busy road, the traffic noise makes the outdoor area a little less pleasant. If you plan on spending a lot of time outside you may want to look for a quieter place. Finally, you cannot independently control the heating/cooling in this rental. They do supply space heaters and fans but if you have temp issues you will need to contact the hosts. I did not have a problem with this, but something to know.
