Often the strength of a thing is also it's weakness. This is a well managed haus. Clean and orderly with prompt responses to questions. However I felt micromanaged and it was difficult to feel at ease knowing that every move I made was being closely monitored. I prefer to be left to myself. I'm not a houseguest. I'm paying rent, if only for a few days. Also, if you are shy in the toilet there is a porthole on the bathroom door that leads to the common space. I was told this should remain open. This is an embarrassing situation in a shared space. Still the host and her son are friendly and well meaning. I prefer a more relaxed environment.
ps. If you have a bad back I recommend the top bunk, it has a better mattress.
