"Pros: Rooms very clean & tidy in the whole (with exception below) & lovely location. While the host doesn't anticipate guests' needs, he was helpful when I asked for help. Spacious kitchen & shared bathroom. bed was reasonably comfortable. I didn't mind that he asked for cash payment up front because maybe some guests may need to get cash to pay. Cons: Host, I think does this just for the money. I think he's a nice person but not a people person and this affected his attention to certain aspects.. No 1.Bedroom No sheets provided. (So used doona on mattress protector) Perhaps just forgotten but Small desk lamp on a stool near window (& only PowerPoints in room) on opposite side of room from bed. No 2. Kitchen issues: neither microwave or gas stove connected. (He asked me which would you like to use, as if one would be enough.) He brought up a gas bottle & I used it. Stove top not clean but obviously hadn't been used recently (see previous point). Very few utensils. This all contrasted with the next place I stayed, near another monastery, which was cheaper, and provided all the things that were missing here." ~Julie
