Host communication was great. The house is very comfortable. The kitchen is very usable -- the long island is great. The hot tub works great. The one nit is that the upstairs is kinda dark -- not like the picture depicts. I realize that it's hard for more natural light to come in because of the mountain on one side and the trees. But there isn't much electric lighting. Also, remember that there are quite a bit of stairs from the street which isn't unique to this house.
