It is an older building; it was clean but you cannot expect the kind of amenities that you would from a newly renovated space. I enjoy older homes and it didn't bother me in the least, but if you want nothing but brand-new fixtures, etc., you may want to look elsewhere. The room itself was large, with high ceilings, and prettily furnished. I visited in winter, and the room was cozily warm. We ate out, and didn't use the kitchen facilities. The hosts were exactly what I would wish; ready to help and accessible, but not overbearing.
