Great stay.
Taking things as Ruth said refers to kitchen utensils like bowls, cutlery without asking sometimes and it was for use within the residence only. I used my own hair products and towels. In some homestays they tell you which utensils the tenant can use. Ruth did not tell me anything..Thanks..
