We had a great experience there. Although the host is also in vacation, not a thing that will influence our stay. Her friend is even drive us from the train station to the place and give us a clear instruction about the house.
The view of the house is excellent. The wide window facing the river and can have a good view of the sun if there is a sunny day.
The only thing that is there may be a bit noisy because the highway is close to the river.
