Old fashioned furniture, oriental rugs; the house reminded me of my grandmothers with better art. It's an old house so the layout is unusual but very workable. Gardens around the house are well kept. No traffic at all.
The park was very close; we saw the eruption almost every day and did some pleasant hiking.
Volcano can be chilly - it is very humid. The house could get chilly but there were heaters and dehumidifiers.
Everything worked in this well-equipt house. Small things made the stay better; new pots in the kitchen, washing machine and drier on the new side, bathrooms remodeled recently, good refrigerator and stove etc.
The house is about 1400 square feet so it is not small! We were surprised at the size.
This is not a place for people who constantly need things to do. And small children could do damage (lots of lovely glass vases etc.) For a quiet, cool jungle experience, it's great.
