Overall the place is very clean except the occasional criter but I think it's just due to it being near a woodsy back yard and area. The view from the porch is nice. My only issue was that although the portion we were staying in was private and I never saw anyone else staying at the house, the "apt" is technically a closed off portion of the house where the host lives so it felt a bit less private than expected. There is no kitchen/tv either, just the amenities on the cart in the photo. Not bad for a quick stay and if you don't plan to be in the place too much.
