Just like camping out in the wild
the listing and box marked things to know has omitted information about the property that should be disclosed before booking. The drinking water might be well water ( host has advised to use filtering device in kitchen), very unsanitary practice of toilet tissue prohibited being flushed down the toilet , tissue to be deposited in storage bin in bathroom, all windows missing screens and bugs get in room. I woke up one morning and found bugs all over the bathroom sink. This may explain the net above the platform bed. the mattress is extremely stiff and does not provide a restful night's sleep. I booked a week but left a day early . I simply could not cope with the place any longer. Except for the plumbing, there are measures the host can take to fix the problem!
