Russell was an excellent host. From the beginning, he warned us of the smaller size - in case we weren't aware. Thankfully, we knew exactly how small it was and wanted nothing more than we got. It is a very intimate space but cozy enough for us newly weds. We just needed a place to crash away from the family hussle-bussle and that was exactly what we got. While we didn't get to stay there much during the day, we definitely would have enjoyed to do so. The kitchen and bathroom are adorable little connections to the main room where the Murphy bed flips down over the sofa. The porch would be a great place to rest up after a long day or perch up for a morning meditation. Russell did everything he could to give us details of the house, including a print-out of everything we could need to know about navigating in the space (turning on&off lights, locking door, etc). The doors are sticky and the lock box was confusing for me (most locks get the best of me!), so I was glad my husband was with me. Something that isn't in Russel's control but should be aware of it if you are planning to arrive during the night - like we did.

Russell's nicest touch outside of his prompt communication was a bottle of champagne he left for us to celebrate our recent marriage. He left a handwritten note of congratulations and a bottle of bubbly with a vase of flowers next to it. Very sweet touch Russell! We both were touched by your attention to detail.
