If you are looking for a place to have some privacy and quiet, this place is not a good fit. I never met Pearl, who was always very nice in her communication, but rather was hosted by her mother, which I was not told about. This would be fine, except her mother, while a nice and generous lady, does not understand boundaries. When I would be in the room (which was not often), she would constantly check on me and even would barge in without my consent. She went in my room when I was not in the house to clean up, which made me uncomfortable that she was touching my things without asking first. I did not feel comfortable in the house.
For those travelers who are looking to chat with the host a lot, then this place may be a good fit. But if you are an independent traveler who would not like to be bothered constantly, then I would not recommend this place.
