It’s a nice, quiet little spot. Very comfortable bed, and plenty of space for a single guest. I received quick responses to my questions and requests. Fresh tulips were a welcoming touch.
Apparently my visit was just a few days after a longer term guest had vacated. I found the kitchen had not been cleaned before my arrival, and when I noted this to my hosts, they did come in right away and cleaned the worst of the previous guest’s kitchen mess. But I never did find basics such as dish soap, dish cloth, dish rack - and still plenty of evidence of previous meals on stovetop, counters, cutlery, dishes, cupboard doors. As I couldn’t clean the kitchen properly, and was reluctant to keep asking the hosts to come in and clean, I changed my plans to use the kitchen and ate out for 3 days.
I really do place a lot of value on cleanliness, maybe some guests wouldn’t notice or care. Dirty kitchens just leave me cold. To be fair, most of the bathroom had been cleaned and the bedroom was fine. As their first short-term guest I offered to provide more detailed feedback to the hosts, but did not receive a response.
