Cons:

No basin to rinse our dishes. Not comfortable to use bathroom basin to rinse dishes and to use a bucket to wash the dishes not very comfortable, more like camping.

Pros:

I loved the welcome and clean environment. I love animals, so having the property cats roam around was awesome. It felt homely. The hostess was so caring and made sure I felt warm and safe, and it was super safe. Good security system.
