Thanks for all the advice! I live alone in a detached house and am not terribly worried about my neighbors. It sounds like as long as I book from a reputable agency and lock up the valuables I should be fine.
Just wondering what the normal practice is by folks on the boards... is it safe to have an SP come to your home? Or should I always book a hotel room? The convenience/comfort of being at home would be great but unsure if that is a good idea.
