There is a shared common area that divides two separate guesthouses that each have their own private bathrooms and entrances. This was not a problem for us but was not immediately clear from the information in the listing. Our host's mother resided in a separate residence on the property and was very warm and welcoming. There was outstanding hospitality. We traveled with our infant and she went above and beyond to ensure a comfortable stay, including offering us a stroller and baby bathtub.
