5. Good water pressure in the 2nd shower
6. Reachable host, including fast action in emergencies
7. Comfortable pillows and beds
Cons
1. No TV
2. Weak WiFi
2. Needs more upkeep, including kitchen supplies/towels/better sofa would do it well, too

4. Space heater was broken, but we fixed it
5. Ambulance noise; must be on an ambulance route, nearly constant but you get used to it
6. Water heating tank in bdrm 2 leaks sometimes
7. Clean yourself with what supplies you find there unless you want to pay
