The two rooms up extremely steep stairs with a cut out in the floor is extremely dangerous and was not safe for 2 of our guests.There was no coffee.They must have been spying us cause I got a notice asking how many guests we haf even though I notified them.

Hi Susan-
Sorry that you didn’t review the pictures as they show the stairs and rooms completely. We offer tea for all our guests and a coffee machine should you want to bring your own coffee. We also mention in our listing that there are exterior cameras for security.
It was a shame you got caught by our property managers that you had more guests than you declared. Please always be honest with your hosts.
Blessings to you and your family. Thank you for booking with us.
