If you’re someone who doesn’t spend much time in the house during vacation, will eat out every night, and is only staying for a couple of days, this place is for you. Location is amazing, central air works like a dream, view is great, bed comfortable, it gets the job done. The only thing I think it’s missing is patio furniture!
If you like to cook, shower every day, or are thinking of an extended stay, you might find a lot of issues. First, the shower leaks like crazy and you will end up with a flooded bathroom even if you shower for 5 minutes, and it takes all day and night to dry. The hot water doesn’t always work, and we tried everything to get it to work. You kinda just have to hope it’s hot. The kitchen is bare bones: two large pots, a strainer, a knife but no cutting board, no large utensils for stirring anything, no bowls but plenty of plates. The freezer had a few inches of ice blocking it, so we had to clean it out before we could use it. Our biggest issue was with the coffee machine. It was broken and they didn’t have another way of making coffee, like a simple briki, so we had to buy coffee out and spend more than we wanted to.
The biggest issue we had was with communication. We tried to ask questions about the house before check in, and we were ignored. When we finally got to the place, we informed them about the water issue and the broken coffee maker. They took a day to respond, and by the time they offered to replace the coffee maker, we only had one night left, so it almost didn’t seem worth it. We agreed they would come in 20 mins, and an hour later they came, but they couldn’t deliver it because I was distracted and didn’t answer the phone. This is totally my fault and I feel really bad for it, but it all could have been avoided if they checked that their appliances were working before we checked in. I truly hope they fix these things for the next guest, because it has the potential to be great.
Overall we had a good time. Probably won’t rent again though.
