Absentee owner; Empty house. Difficulties opening the house and getting in. We were hassled by the police when we were standing in front of the house while we were unloading, on a road that had zero traffic, and while native residents down the road were often parked on the same road. Absence of a welcoming host that could help in our stay and make suggestions to improve our stay. The offerings in tea and coffee were meager.
