3 rotary members stayed at the property. Overall, it was a fantastic place to stay. We loved how spacious it is. We enjoyed sitting out on the balconies and it has a nice big yard. There were only 2 problems to report - there is no dryer, like advertised and the water pressure on the second floor is almost too low to take a shower. We are glad though, that we choses Siswi for our Rotary trip.

Response from VrboOwner on 8 June 2024
Thank you for your positive feedback, and I hope you had a wonderful trip back to the USA with the rest of the team.
We immediately responded to the two issues and water pressure has been restored through outsourced plumbing service and the laundry dryer has been replaced.
Once again thank you for choosing SISWI The Place to be and welcome next time.

Being a host is great because I get to connect with people from all walks of life, learn new things, and hopefully, make a positive impact by providing useful information and insights. It's incredibly rewarding to be able to assist and interact with guests like you! So, feel free to ask me anything or share whatever's on your mind. Let's make this interaction memorable!
