This was our 1st WP. Overall it's a good experience. Initially it was laid back as agreed before arrival. Near the end there was tension due to communication. Aaron and I had 2 discussions about me needing more freedom and respect. As a 24yo female solo traveler, there were a few times I felt uncomfy such as flirting & high expectations. Aaron expected work on the weekends & evenings, which changed the relaxed vibe. Aaron had a couple nice friends stay in the home as well during my stay. The house was in a good location, & Aaron gave many tips. Gorgeous area, wonderful kid, nice excursions.
