The house is very spacious and looks nice overall, with plenty of room for a family. However, the interior feels a bit dated, and the living room lighting is quite dim with old-style lamps. Unfortunately, we also experienced a cockroach issue during our stay, which required treatment twice. Hopefully this can be resolved properly for future guests.
