We received no message with directions for checking in b4 arrival. Good location, cottage feel. The space was clean with minimal supplies. Not great value, at least after Christmas compared to other places we stayed before and after. Steep outside staircase to unit so probably not the best for elderly or people with small children. (We knew it was a loft but didn't realize what the climb would entail) Very little counter space, no cupbd space in kitchen and none in bathrm. Bar fridge and hotplate provided under sink for cooking in kitchenette. Host did let us know about and hold onto a prescription accidentally left in fridge so we could pick it up later so we did really appreciate that.
