May long in BV

Overall, the experience was excellent. The facilities were spot on. Enjoyed having the washer and dryer right in our suite. Only complaint was that the road is being repaired so parking was at a premium. Would suggest our host think about fixing up his walkway from the down the driveway. It's a little precarious

Very charming decor especially for a suite in the basement of an older home. Everything there that would be needed for a longer stay. Cleanliness of kitchen and bathroom not up to par and was an issue for me. Especially kitchen sink, need to investigate smell that comes from drain when water is turned on.
