Negatives
-Felt quite dirty upon arrival (I vacumed as there was a toe nail on the floor in the second bedroom, I also dusted and cleaned the bathroom and window sills as there was alot of mould and a number of the dishes were sticky or dirty);
-Very dark throughout, very hard to see even in the middle of the day as the lighting is minimal and poor, we requested a side lamp for the main room after the first night as we had to read in bed using the torches from our phones. We did have to continue to use the torches to see in our bags etc;
-The curtains didn't block any light when the sub rose on a morning because they were so sheer;
-The linen provided was lacking until requested (and then quickly seen too);
-The oven dials had all rubbed off so we had to ask our host to come show us how it worked and even he wasn't entirely sure, we tried googling too, would be helpful to maybe write in vivid the temperature, settings etc;
-Needed alot of maintenance work (eg showerhead and towel rail in bathroom nearly falling off, heater in main bedroom on an angle and nearly falling off, curtains were hanging off rails, alot of seals were mouldy and needed replacing, some light bulbs needed replacing, just felt quite let go;
-Incredibly noisy and this is the sole reason we would not stay again, rubbish trucks every morning around 5am, night club on the corner, restaurant across the road and general noise from people walking down the street. I am not sure what was wrong with the windows (they almost didn't seem to be shut but were?) but it was basically like they were not even there, it was so loud. We could clearly hear peoples conversations as they walked down the street, some sort of sound proofing is a must. We literally got a couple of hours disturbed sleep at most each night and we were exhausted when we left.
