Jo, the host, was an amiable person but there was a lack of services which made the unit substandard. Firstly there was no heating control in the unit (I was eventually supplied with a noisy fan heater after complaining the main heater wasn't working).
The host eventually got the main heater working but it was turned off when she went to bed - luckily I'd asked for a fan heater prior. The main heater was controlled at the owner's discretion inside the main house - it heated both dwellings.
The unit is a converted room attached to the owner's house and separated by a thin wall, with a door blocked by a bookshelf. This leaves you exposed to the noise of the host's family and the occasional barking of their three dogs.
The double doors that lead onto the shared front veranda are covered by thin see-through curtains, leaving you exposed to all entering and exiting the owner's house at night.
The screen doors that lead onto the shared front veranda have no flywire screen in the bottom panel, leaving flies, mosquitoes and the host's cat free to enter the dwelling at will if you leave the double doors open on a warm night.
The air conditioner is a noisy old style A/C - not a split/reverse system.
The TV has no remote control, ultimately making it an exercise machine if you want to mute the TV commercials or change the channels or volume. It also means you're unable to see what TV programs are on that night.
I made my dissatisfaction known to the host but she believed the dwelling to be up to standard and apologized that it wasn't up to my expectations.
On a positive note: the host was amiable, the bed was comfortable and large, and the dwelling was clean.
In short: apart from the lack of heating-control, curtains, flywire screen, and remote control - and the thin wall separated by a bookshelf, it was ok.
A good fish n chippery and a bakery are nearby and the dwelling was clean.
most of these faults can be easily remedied and those that are not easily remedied can be easily listed in the host's blurb.
I let the owner know that I hoped these faults would be rectified before the next guests arrived so they didn't have to suffer the same frustrations I paid good money for.
