We were excited about the pictures on the post. Indeed, they look pretty neat and cozy. Despite the great appearance, some photos appear deceptive, and some functionality is unavailable or inconvenient. The most disappointing one is the fireplace. It is not available to guests, although the posts include a picture of its functioning. The host asked us twice about the temp of the room (which was kind of him), but the central heating system was not working either. There is a small heating fan in front of that fireplace and a circulator, so the host wanted to combine those two to heat the huge room. The working desk to the window is okay for display, but it shakes. Any desk work needs to happen at the dinner table. Finally, we felt that this place is not private at all. It is located in the basement (literally downstairs of the host's space). Every footstep upstairs is heard so we could not make ourselves comfortable. Instead of the lovely get-away, we felt we were sneaking into the place
