The host was welcoming and had great communication. It was a cute little place in a nice quiet neighborhood on the water. I felt safe and comfortable with it just being myself and my tween daughter.

We had most of what we needed and then some, including a coffee maker, toaster, microwave full size refrigerator and electric stove. If I could suggest some things to add, it would be a pitcher and some more cereal size bowls.
