Spacious, clean, and warm! Having our own well decorated living room (in addition to the bedroom) made us feel very much at home. The bathroom isn't ensuite, which means you need to go out into the shared hallway to access it — but it's only a couple of steps away from your living room, and the host family's private area is down the stairs, giving you all the privacy you need. We did hear the puppy bark in the evening but it wasn't loud enough to bother us.
