Chalu was a very attentive host, before, during, and after my stay. The place was pretty cool, quiet, and she thoughtfully provided towels and a little toiletries basket! I didn't use her kitchen but it looked like it was fully appointed. I grew up with a very exacting guardian when it came to cleanliness, so I noticed a couple of things (not bad bad stuff at all) but I still think it's a great value.
