"We enjoyed our stay, and the host was very accommodating and pleasant. The place was homey and authentic. The shower/tub on the main floor did not drain well. The host had someone come over and work on it. It helped some, but didn't totally fix the problem. Also, there were no outlets in the upstairs bathroom. We had a lot of people getting ready in the mornings, so this made things a little hectic.All and all, we enjoyed our stay and would recommend our host."
