Kip met us at the house when we got into town, which was great. He gave us a quick rundown of the area and house (which is pretty fantastic, it's a really cool house. The area they're in is fantastic too, easy walking distance to all sorts of coffee shops and such and mass transit is a breeze.

We met Kristin the next day and she was somehow friendlier than Kip. The entire experience was a bit out of my wife and my comfort zone (we are incredibly private people) but I was extremely pleasantly surprised by how welcome and open everyone was. Absolutely the best experience I've ever had sharing a house with other people. They gave us our space while at the same time being welcome.
