We stayed two weeks here and loved it. The ground floor is beautifully crafted and spacious. The kitchen area is well supplied. It is open through the stairs to the rest of the house and, as it is the host's home, she will walk through sometimes and stop to chat. It is therefore somewhere between 'entire space/private' and 'shared home,' particularly regarding the personal nature of the relationship - the boundaries are more what you'd expect from a shared home than a private apartment. That was fine for us: we got on well with Angela and she went to a lot of effort to help us feel at home, which we appreciated.
