Zoe is a very friendly and gentle person who gives privacy but will happily engage. The space was very conducive to our one week stay. The bed is a bit soft and a little couch or love seat might be a nice addition but overall very comfortable. The kitchen is very well equipped with all the amenities plus spices and olive oil and tea! Great shower and very clean space. The covered porch must be lovely in summer! Also, very cool blinds. :)
