I never met Cynthia but there is a women who seemed to live at the house as a host that was very nice. Note, there is a pet gate and narrow spaces as you pass through the house to get to the room so can be awkward if you have luggage. The room itself is sufficient, but divided by screens into two rooms with people staying on each side of the screen, and sounds carry. It is a clean and fine for a place to crash, though is a high density accommodation so if you're looking for privacy or something romantic this might not fit.
