based on the pictures and description I assumed the pool and the room we were staying in is beside each other . a picture of the entrance and the outside of where we would be staying would have given us a better idea of the layout of the place. Just a note to fellow travelers the pool is right beside where the host is living and the room is on the other side of the house and since you won't see the layout of the place untill you book I think this would be helpful. and the inside is not a updated layout more of an antique style but still homey . host is pleasant and easy to communicate with, area is safe and secure.
