It would be great to have the toilet in a self-contained room as opposed to shared with the bedroom. Things were a little dusty and I needed to ask for shower gel, dish cloth and scrubber and garbage bags because they were forgotten. However, we were delighted to have received farm fresh eggs and cold bottled water and driveway parking space. Also very quiet neighborhood. Overall a great place to stay, centrally located, highly recommended!
