Howie and Awit (if I spelt it right!)welcome their guests genuinely, you can feel their passion while they're showing you around. They give you advices to visit the surrounding area , tell you which bus to get and places where to eat great local food. In the morning, Howie always cooks amazing home-made breakfast, he provides free water, juice, coffee + milk, teas.. You won't feel hungry or thirsty in the house as there will always be something to eat and he's very proud of it. Room wasn't big, but enough for 2 ppl. It didn't have a window but with a/c you don't really need it. It was perfect for us and enjoyed the comfy mattress and pillows!!! Thank you so much, Howie!!!
