Our host Darlene was very friendly, responsive and helpful. The apt. exceeded our expectations with a beautiful 3 season room and the deck space was great and you felt you were in the forest with all the tree coverage. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you need to cook with. As was the rest of the house. The bonus for me was finding a paved bike trail within 3 km of the house.
