The host was very responsive and helped me during the planning phase and also the entry phase. The view was spectacular and the little add ons within the suite were appreciated. Safety is huge for me, and I was able to feel safe in the neighbourhood near the university. Kind of too far to walk, as I had things to do on campus, but parking on campus was easy. Campus is full of bunnies! Filled my heart. Thanks to the hosts for their TLC and responsiveness and quick replies.
