The house is beautiful and alive - I felt like a member of the household. The garden is beautiful, check-in was easier than I anticipated, and the bed was nicer than the one in the pictures. The bathroom is shared with other guests, so you may find that you have to use the upstairs bathroom, but it's not an inconvenience. Mei Lei was very welcoming and made me a cup of tea on my first night. There was beautiful live classical piano in the early evening one night. The location is ideal.
