Pros: the bed was really comfortable and the main room was well laid out with plenty of desk space and room for meals, and beautifully renovated. The kitchen had all the utilities needed. Manige and her daughter Tanya were very responsive to any requests I had.
Cons: the biggest concerns the stairway into the house which is at the very back of the garage. The fifteen steps have been painted a dark brown. There is a light at the bottom which can only be turned on from inside, so one has to get used to turning it on even if leaving in daylight. The bigger problem comes when returning after dark. Going up the stairs you block the lower light so that it is difficult to see the steps. I would definitely suggest a light at the top by the door (would be easier to see the lock as well). I was lucky in that the people in the front house were very accommodating about moving their car when I needed to get out, but I could see where this could be difficult under other circumstances.
All in all, a nice stay but needs some continued upgrading.
