Thanks Tony for sharing your space with us. It allowed us to enjoy the island at an affordable rate. Love that the unit is built around and old cistern? Lovely environment/view from the outside. Quite a bit of charm.
That said, I was taken aback by a few things, some of which was already indicates by a previous guest (I didn't see until after our stay) and had they had been addressed, I would have given you higher ratings.
1. No screens on windows. It is summer. Why this this the case is beyond me. We had to contend with mosquitos, or be uncomfortably hot.
2. Curtains. Not private (running transparent ones and blackout ones on the same track. Easy and affordable fix. Can't event properly close the one beside the bed - noticed it was tied and tried to untie it - gross - curtain full of mould, let alone fire risk from hanging directly over baseboard heating. Again, easy and affordable fix. Bathroom? Cut curtain fabric thumbtacked over window?? Beyond me. Again easy and affordable fix.
Security - unlocked and glass doors to two separate areas of the house, one being a tenant, where the covering and locking is controlled from the other side? Easy and affordable fixes!!
It's hard. In good faith, I wanted to give a higher rating, and even sat on it for a few days, but everything I came back to my thoughts about it, the situation just didn't sit right with me. Either you don't understand what it takes to maintain a rental space, or you just don't care.
Anyway, take care and I hope you van work to improve the space. These are not insignificant issues.
