We enjoyed our stay at carols place and it's exactly like described. You have definitely enough space. We just use the bedroom but you can also use a sitting room which is in front the bedroom. The bed is really comfy and everything was tidy.
Carol answered fast and she excepted our request although she said she gonna be busy which was totally fine for us because we explored the area anyway.
She also gave us a bike map and showed us a good rental bike store. (Trek bike at habour Rd)
There is a good organic coffee place next to it ;)
