The room was very clean. It was also spacious and comfortable. The view from the window was fabulous! The host was friendly and accommodating.
Payment needed to be made via cash or a bank transfer, something I wasn't expecting.

The room was very clean. (Cleanliness is important to me.)
I was informed there was parking, but this information came after I already paid for parking for two days. Payment methods were unclear. The Cornish experience with Cornish milk, coffee, and tea bags would be welcome.
