The best and most welcome surprise was the politeness of the family, and the quiet but relaxed atmosphere in the home. Only occasionally did I hear loudness from a movie or television, but never enough to be much of a disturbance. The room was quite clean and well decorated, but it can get quite cold. Thankfully a small heater was provided to help out with that. The dishes could be kept cleaner. There wasn't a closet, but the cabinet works well for storage. Expect to pay extra for laundry.

Overall, extremely good value. I would recommend this to someone who can live without full-service accommodation.
