Because of Covid-19, the following were issues: shops and sites all closed, parking was a nightmare since no one moved their cars, Herbert offered to charge me $15 per day to park in the driveway (pass!) internet was extremely slow or would disconnect often maybe due to everyone being at home and online.
Heater did not work in my room to circulate heat but DID work in the remainder of the rooms and home so I used a blanket at night to keep warm. My room had plants that were covered in bugs and spider webs that I noticed after I had bug bites on my arm, hip and stomach after day 2 so I moved the plants out. If in another room, I’d check that. Noise level for two nights was a nightmare as people downstairs were yelling and screaming between 2am and 3am. Herbert said he let them know about quiet hours but obviously that did nothing to change it but they checked out the 3rd day so that stopped being an issue. There is no outdoor furniture so you can’t sit on balcony. Lastly, the rooms don’t have separate locks so if you leave your belongings, it may be an issue. Also, host accidentally came in to my room in the morning when I was still in bed so that was scary LOL! But I’m sure it was an accident as it is hard to keep track of who is coming and going so maybe lock the door for privacy.
Overall, host was very pleasant and easy to deal with. My stay was not one that I would want to make another trip but during different circumstances maybe worth your time to try it out.
