The tiny home is very tiny. Upon arrival the place was hot from the sun, and very dusty under the bed and dead bugs in the window sills. Glad we like camping, felt like that with the chemical toilet, minus the fire pit and bbq. Lots of windows but location is directly between two houses and on a busy road, not in a backyard with privacy to sit out without feeling like you are sitting in a stage. Ad is inaccurate, and host doesn’t respond till 12 hours later and a second contact attempt??? No laundry, no bbq or fire pit, wifi info is not available from the host as per instructions from tiny away homes so might be okay for one night as an experience. But we booked for 3 nights to be able to enjoy an outdoor evening in lovely Cambridge but host didn’t provide anything as stated in the ad. Very disappointed with our stay. Not what we were expecting…. On the positive, really comfy bed and nice shower!
