The host, Meryl, was the absolute best! She helped me out when I was worried about driving back home where there was a lot of snow and ice. She let me stay an extra night even though she had new people coming the next day, which shortened the time for the cleaning crew to come in. The condo was wonderful, and the view was fantastic. I highly recommend staying here.
