First of all Nanette was a gem of a host. Very welcoming, warm & friendly. Gave me a great hiking tip. BUT her house was like a hostel that night I was there. I think I counted 14 Asians (one family and a group of young friends) at one time. The group of friends kept banging doors, giggling & hushing each other until midnight!! The walls are quite thin too. The next morning they occupied the whole breakfast table. Of course they didn't apologize for their noisy behaviour. The whole experience just had a weird party hostel feeling to me. If you are looking for a quiet retreat, this is not it. Like I said though, Nanette is super helpful.
