This house is in rather tired shape and unfortunately doesn’t live up to the photos or super host status in our experience.
We were a group of seven staying for four nights over the Easter weekend. Many of the appliances were faulty or not completely functional (TV was old and really difficult to use, toaster was faulty and blew the fuse when we used it and dishwasher couldn’t completely open due to a wall being in the way) and the house lacked practical things like sufficient couches for all guests (only seating for four), no fly wire on doors (so you had to keep closing doors which made it harder to enjoy outside) and windows that wouldn’t open or close. The fly wire was really worn and with many windows locked in slightly open position, it meant the house was full of mosquitoes. When combined with really squeaky metal beds it meant we had rough night’s sleeps. The garden was much smaller than the photos looked. Also, there was only a couple of very dusty spare blankets so we were a bit cold at night. We could have left the heater on all night but it’s not the most sustainable solution.
Herman was a friendly and communicative host and keen to help which was nice but it wouldn’t have been necessary had the house functioned effectively in the first instance. I think he’s in the process of renovating the house so it might be a lot better in a few months time.
