The host was very responsive to our inquiries. That said, due to no fault of the owners we were without internet, thus the TV, etc for 4 days. The roads were completely torn up and work being done, the workers started at 7AM each day which woke us up early. The actual home was great, it was clean and well stocked with kitchen equipment and supplies. A discounted rated would have helped take the sting out of the other unfortunate issues.
