A great escape. The pool and garden were great. The pool house is a casual apartment had a small kitchen, fridge, and plates and a comfy bed. A couple of room sized A/C units are a bit noisy, but they do keep it cool. You get a private entrance through the side fence and a place to park off-street. We met other lodgers at the pool who were staying in the main house. Although Eric was traveling, he was a great host and was good at staying in touch by text and email.
