The place was perfectly clean and adequate, but lacking in general ambiance. It was fine for an initial stay on island, especially after a long flight. While I could hear and sometimes smell cooking evidence of host being around because my room was in the main house, I liked that I didn't see him or have to make contact. I'm sure he would be responsive if I needed him to be, so that was a nice thing! The room itself was nothing special, sort of out dated. With the only water source the small bathroom sink down the hall, it felt less than realistic to use the coffee maker or any of the kitchenette things placed in the room closet. The road traffic noise was also high when the screened windows were open, which is a nice way to sleep. For those accustomed to busy streets that is probably no big deal, but I'm used to a quiet end road in a small town.
