My host was kind enough to let me in after 2am (British Airways aircraft fault delayed my arrival ). VN welcomed me at that time and showed me the ropes. He was a bit taken aback that I needed to use the kitchen for my diet but this was allowed. His wife was very helpful as regards making the kitchen facilities available. (Mind you, I only do simple cooking in the evening, minimal boiling for brunch midday. ) A pleasant stay overall, accommodating host.
