The hosts were out of town so unfortunately I did not get to meet them. However, there was a lovely young couple staying there who were extremely friendly and helpful! The room was extremely large, it felt like our own little apartment. The house is beautiful! I felt very comfortable sitting by the fire place or just hanging out in the kitchen. It is a very welcoming space. The hosts were great about communicating even if they weren't there. There was an awesome/easy to read map in the room with suggested restaurants/cafes/etc. The neighborhood reminded me of a nicer Brooklyn, NY being walk-able to very trendy restaurants and shops. I liked that I got to see where the locals go rather than just staying downtown. It is very easy to catch a train to go downtown. Finally, it was very clean so there were no issues there! :)
