This house really has everything you need - kitchen including high-quality appliances, dishes & cutlery, a large garden, a living space including tv, sofas, dining table etc. The house is shared between around 14 people (including Drew and his girlfriend), some people living there on a long-terms basis, some just for a few days or weeks.
This has advantages: there's a community that often organises events like hikes (which is particularly great for people who aren't from the area and don't have friends here) but also drawbacks: you sometimes won't find clean dishes or cutlery, and some people don't really clean up after themselves after having used the kitchen and in the morning the bathrooms (there are three) fill up quickly.
Altogether I think Drew's house is a good place to stay for a few weeks but personally I find that there are just too many people there for me too recommend it for a long-term stay.
