This place is a nice location and great for family. The outdoor patio has no furniture as shown, maybe due to rain. If privacy inside the house is a concern you may want to think twice. They say the camera only takes still photos when alarm sounds. There is no way of knowing this for sure as a guest. It is odd that the camera is outside the bathroom at the top of the stairs not facing down the stairs at all. I guess someone can break in and steal everything downstairs near front and back door without being on camera but if you come out of the bedroom or bathroom it will get ya. Host was nice but camera explanation doesnt add up.
