The host was very nice and communication was great throughout our stay. However, a few things could be improved. For a house that accommodates 8 people, having only one key was inconvenient. It would also be helpful to provide laundry products for guests. We noticed ants around the window sill and floor in the dining area, and the mats and some dusty areas could use a deeper clean. Overall, the house was reasonably clean and comfortable, but a few small improvements would make it much better.

Overall, our stay was pleasant.The property was clean and conveniently located near supermarkets. The car space was also good. However, the listing mentioned a certain number of beds, but in reality, there were 10 sleeping spots and one sofa that could be used as a bed.The facilities were quite minimal, including the kitchen supplies and basic items like tissues. Additionally, the room lacked a bedside table and lamp, which made it less comfortable.
