Would highly recommend staying at Lily's place for a single person or a couple
Pros:

Lily was very responsive in her communication with me. She was warm and friendly and made me feel comfortable staying in her home. The room and ensuite bathroom were great and the bed was very comfortable. The house was clean, tidy and quiet. Great location near the mall and grocery store. Lily said that I could cook meals in the kitchen, though I was only there for one night so didn't need to. She was very respectful of my privacy. I would highly recommend Lily's place for a single person or a couple.

Cons:

Nothing at all.

A homestay which catered very well for someone seeking that ‘Retreat’ ambience
Pros:

Good location close to large mall and bus routes. Quiet and private. The room and the ensuite were immaculate.

Cons:

Nothing really. I had expected to find a tv in the room but as I had my iphone and an ipad with an excellent wifi connection, I could access anything I needed.
It was my first time staying in a room where access was via the owners part. I felt a little awkward intruding on such a warm, friendly and generous couple.
