We can start it a bit earlier and turn off a bit later in request if will be possible to comply with the calendar of current bookings. A/C Please note, that only one bedroom is equipped with the a/c. And other rooms have the fans. it is not my personal choice, but the decision of the investors. I find it comfortable staying in the house without a/c and do not have one in my own place. However I understand that for some people it is very important. So please, be aware.
