What an amazing property. The house itself is magnificent and one of a kind. The house was stocked with bamboo toilet paper and paper towels, filtered water in glass bottles, and organic toiletries (shampoo, conditioner, soap, hair products, laundry and dish soap). The bed was very comfortable, the hosts were helpful and easy to reach, and the house is exactly as depicted in photos. Would definitely stay again. Highly recommend!
