The place is lovely and the bedrooms really spacious. The kitchenette had all you need to have a good meal, but for a full lunch you'd need to go out probably (though there's a lot of items for microwave cooking at your disposal that I didn't know how to use). The assortment of food provided (bread, coffee, tea, cereal, milk) was a nice and varied.
The big room can be a bit cold at times but there's a heater in the room. The door to the big room doesn't close and sometimes the host will come in and open/close the windows when I wasn't in the house.
I stayed a month and commuted to the CBD, but I wouldn't recommend since buses stop going up the hill at 6.30pm (as is noted in the description of the house). It's a bit harder to walk to the house in winter since it's dark by 6pm and the driveway is not illuminated. With a car this place a lot more comfortable for a stay.
The bathroom is not private. It's intended for guests use but is separated from the rooms and anyone can come and go.
