The host was there to please and every detail for living in this little cottage was provided for you. The cottage's architecture is wonderful and the house is surrounded by trees since in a jungle atmosphere. The cottage was overly too busy/crowded , however, with large beds and scatter rugs, pictures, mounds of pillows etc. for me. (I am much more zen but this is a matter of personal taste). It is very quiet with eating space outdoors which was lovely especially for morning breakfast. There is a musty smell so keep the windows open. The location is terrific within easy reach of a beach, towns, eating places, etc.
