We just loved our stay.The place was comfortable, spacious, clean. had lots of character and nice furnishings. The hosts were friendly and provided lots of information and some nice surprises. We enjoyed walking down to town and back up the hill about 15-20 minutes each way but you can drive about 5 minutes if you prefer The kitchenette worked well for us and we had no issues with the hosts need to very occasionally pass through that separate space. You can close the door when not using it. We found it to be in fact very private.
