Our stay was great! We arrived early but Matthew didn't seem to mind and we didn't mind at all that the room wasn't quite ready. There were other people in the house but we never heard them and rarely saw them. I think you have to be somewhat easy going since other rooms and spaces could be booked by people you don't know. My only wish was if there was a small couch or comfy chair in the living area to sit in and relax if you don't want to stay in your room.
