Our group found the house and inside facilities excellent. The bedding and rooms were very good, very clean. Showers and toilets were very clean. plenty of room in the kitchen with more than enought fridge and cooking facility. Rubbish bags, toilet paper and all provided. The only improvement would be to include a recycling facility for food waste, and recycling for paper, plasic, cans etc. We did this ourselves but would be great if bins per provided. Our host Jonas and Phillip were very welcoming, prior and upon arrival. We were thankful for there helpfulness
