Pros: The location is absolutely central, perfect crash pad for exploring the city. The room is spacious. The host kindly provides electrical adapters for U.S. travelers, as well as some DVDs and a DVD player, coffee and tea, and lots of travel brochures. There is also a spacious outdoor area with a table and chairs.
Cons: We arrived on an August day that happened to be overcast and dark and were frustrated to find that there is not a single bright light in the entire space. There is a lamp on the table that has two settings: really dim, and then barely on. The lighting is lovely if you want ambient light but my eyesight isn't great so I couldn't see to read the numbers on my credit card to book museum tickets. Something about not being able to see well in the room made me it a bit gloomy and uncomfortable for our entire stay. I understand that not everyone needs good lighting but would recommend at least providing the option of one bright light. We did ask about this and in response, the host kindly supplied a second lamp. Strangely, that lamp also only had one, very dim setting. It was a curious disconnect around what constitutes light.
The garden is not private, and it was never clear to us who the other people are that have a key and pop through it.
The chickens woke us up early every morning (contrary to the house manual, no "fresh eggs", just noise).
It wasn't clear to us what the additional $67.85 service fee was for, which is described as "24/7 support on your trip". No one checked in with us during our stay, beyond the first day. In fairness, the host was out of town during our stay and may have been in a better position to assist if she had been around.
