Summary: Sunny, the owner, was friendly and accommodating to several requests from us. We think he gave us the potatoe masher from his own home. Kitchen equipment enabled us to cook all our meals in the room (everything but oven). TV had lots of great channels and could swivel to different parts of the room. Beds felt new in No.5 and the kitchen looked modern. Bathroom and toilet looked a bit dated but were nice and clean. Housecleaning came everyday. Pool isnt maintained in Winter but looks like it would be nice for a Summer swim. We would stay here again.
