Vana is a great host (even when he is out of the country!!). The place was immaculate, and very personable. The photos don't show how great it is. There were two of us and used a bedroom each, and that worked very well. The garden is just as shown ... I know hard to imagine in NY! Vana responded to every inquiry ... and stayed in touch to ensure everything was going well. I strongly recommend this place, and Vana as a host!
