The listing was as described and the host was quick to respond. A few minor spots seemed to have been missed when cleaning up before our stay (a small spill in the freezer, crumbs on the side table) but nothing major enough for me to not want to come back. Host had board games and a very welcoming living space. I would stay here again.
