Despite looking good, it falls far below my expectations.
Pros:

Inside the house everything was fine. It just you don't have knife to cut fruit ect.
I love the coffee maker,

Cons:

The overall property lack of convenient store,restaurant and the laundry also was not walk in guest friendly, we have to download the apps that needed min topup of 100 then there is no application of returning the remaining balance back to my acc.
And also for the 4 hours of delay check in, due to short staff of housekeeping . I hate it so much.

Clean and Clear
Pros:

The room is neat and the equipment is all new and clean. The toilet is clean and complete. The host provides fragrant soap, shampoo and conditioner. The shower is large and the water is strong. The water heater works well. The host also provides slippers and some dishes and spoons. A relaxing vacation. I stayed for 6 nights and 7 days and was satisfied and suitable for a family. Although there is only 1 room, there are 2 toilets. The living room is quite spacious and comfortable. The host also gives a good response. Thank you. Recommended and may come and stay again

Cons:

1. PARKING - stayed 7D6N PAID parking - could stay 1/per night In good hotel.

Hopefully, host can provide 1 special parking lot for people staying.

2. Kettle - maybe the host can provide a kettle to boil water, especially for families with small children who need hot water to make baby milk or else. Or, it's easier to use a water machine that provides drinking water and hot water.

3. Cup / Knife / Scissors - maybe host can provide a cup for drinking coffee (kupi2). Glasses are provided. only for drinking hot coffee a cup or mug with a handle is more suitable. Other basic necessities such as a knife / scissors and additional spoons and forks.

Btw, I am satisfied and all of the above are just suggestions to the host for the future. thank you for the good cooperation
