The property was very clean and the beds were comfortable. Access was easy. The walking trail near the house is nice. As others have noted, by “shared property” it means that while you have the upstairs to yourself, you still enter through the front door and foyer of the ground level occupied by the homeowners. There is no door at the top of the stairs. We felt comfortable in this setting and seemed to coexist very well, but others may not be as comfortable. Because of that, the value for our stay was excellent, giving everyone in our family of 5 a bed to sleep in vs relegating someone to a sofa in a hotel. We spent most of our time with family nearby, so we didn’t miss having a full kitchen.
