Although this space is private, it is part of the owner's home with separate entrance. I rarely knew there was anyone else at home and had my privacy. Although you have to acknowledge that she has dogs on the property, I never saw them and only heard them once briefly. Unexpected was the cute, small patio with table and chairs--great place for coffee or evening glass of wine. Plenty of towels, a couple wine glasses, wine opener, silverware, dishes. Was great to have the coffee maker and other amenities. Liling provided a few snacks, coffee, and water for the coffee maker. She was helpful with my bags at my late arrival and offered to help with anything. If you are a person who has difficulty with your footing, be careful negotiating the grassy part of the entrance. Only paved partly to your gate entrance. The area was very safe, quiet, and I didn't have any trouble with parking. Liling was very responsive with any questions I had during my booking. I was traveling solo this trip, and this space worked well for me.
