The host is trying to segregate her private areas from those that can only be accessed by her guests, and as such the living room or hall was out of bound. Being so, there is no place to sit down to have your breakfast or coffee as the kitchen was to small and there is no seating area in the kitchen. Furthermore, the host stated guests could use her kitchen for cooking which is not true. Her printed house rules placed in the bedroom stated that the stove is out of bound.
Nonetheless she has kept her home sparkling clean and if do not use her stove then you would not be affected by this inconvenience. Thus this would be a good place to stay as it is near to the main road leading to City Centre and a clean and safe home. Don't worry about her dog. She seldom barked.
