The room was private, comfortable, and quiet, with it's own entrance and shower. Great value for the price. Toilet use is shared in the main area since there's only one. About a 20 minute walk to town, 20 minute walk to the train station...not much around the area where the house is so you've got to be up for the walk to town (completely uphill on the way back). Bernard speaks great English and was very welcoming. He was rarely around though so I was in the house alone most of the time. I was hoping he could offer more recommendations for surfing and places to eat but he seemed very busy and unavailable. This didn't affect the quality of my stay though, great experience overall.
