NOT GOOD
Pros:

Place was very dirty, unhygienic not organised, bathroom was very dirty, kitchen was very unhygienic and dirty. All place are very messy. I didn't stay a minute over there and they didn't refund my amount at all. The owner is not responding when I call him. His own 5 people put review and I believe on that review. Not comfortable at all

Being a senior lady the facility was not to my liking so cut short my stay.
Pros:

The accommodations were passable but for a young couple on a budget. The host and the cats were friendly.

Cons:

The kitchen and shower were below standard.

Nice people, & cats. Unfortunately the negatives outweighed the positives, and the price seems high.
Pros:

It was good to meet David and his Dad and have a few chats. The help with a shoe repair was much appreciated. The bed and room itself is in good order with a towel etc and I had a good sleep.
A local photography magazine was a bonus :)

Cons:

No photos of the kitchen bathroom etc - which are in poor condition. The shower barely works - and tho this is well explained once there it doesn't change the facts.
There the kitchen - which has no stove only a very rusty hotplate, very few of the appliances have been cleaned on the outside, same with cleaning in general. The inside of the house needs a decent amount of repair/finishing work. Rustic would be a kind word. So all this was surprising considering the price to stay.
