"Amazing place. The space of the room and view are really spectacular. The host, who I only communicated with over text, was responsive. My only caution is that this place is fairly remote meaning the power/internet can go out and if it rains hard the little river you have to cross to get there can become a burden. Bring everything you need to chill for a few days."
