The home was very cozy and clean. The only reason I give 4 stars instead of five is it was cold a in the evening and night and temp was controlled by host. I didn’t want to bother him so we just made do. The house was equipped with everything needed to prepare meals, lots of seating when our family visited. Good pillows on beds and very comfortable livingroom furniture and nice TV.
