All in all we liked our stay very much. Mike and Eren were great hosts: very flexible and quick to respond to any requests we made. The accommodations were perfectly located, quiet, secure, and spotless, and the bed was very comfortable. The pillows provided are thick foam, which for us would all but guarantee a stiff neck--luckily we brought our own. So why only 4 stars?
Apparently the water heater is quite far from the bathroom. With the hot tap at the sink fully open, it took well over 5 minutes for the water to turn warm. It took 2:36 with both the sink and shower going full blast. The flow rate of the hot water at the sink was 4 L per minute (yes, I measured it). This means wasting over 5.5 gallons of water every time you want to wash your hands or face with warm water. Typically, my wife and I each use far less than that for a complete shower. As lifelong conservationists, and especially considering the fact that California is in the midst of a historically severe drought, this is a dealbreaker for us. I'm sorry we can't give 5 stars, but the practical lack of hot water is too serious to ignore. I hope this can be remedied soon for future guests.
