Nik is an excellent host. He gives you space if you need it, but will also give suggestions and help for anything that you might require. I good balance of privacy and tips/help.
Niks place is cozy and has everything that you might require - from a bottle of wine to fresh coffee and nice natural local soaps, to a re-usable grocery bag to go shopping. He has accented the place with a few cute dog themed touches such as coasters. Plus dog bows, dog beds and towels to wipe down your pooch.
The garden is absolutely beautiful with many exotic plants.
I'd recommend staying at Niks place.
