We had good communication from our host prior to arrival and were made to feel welcome. We knew in advance that there were limitations to the use of one bathtub and that the dishwasher would be unavailable until the third day of our 8 day stay. We also knew that the host was having trouble with an ant infestation in the kitchen prior to our arrival. Once in the home we learned that the dishwasher would not be repaired until after our visit was over, and we found the ants in the kitchen were plentiful. This made keeping any food we purchased difficult as there is little storage area other than on the counter. Our host shared plans to more aggressively combat the ant problem in the future. Otherwise, the home is comfortable, met the needs of our party of 6 (at its peak; were were less for most of the visit), and was clean. There are lots of house rules about what is private and how to use the space.
