Our 2 weeks stay was comfortable. We reached the place early and the owners trusted us to check-in early and enter the house even though they weren't home. We checked out when they weren't home as well. Place was clean and pretty much like the photos. They also have very clear instructions on getting to their place. They also recommended places to visit.
The heater is automatic according to the hosts but didn't seem to work most of the time even though we maxed the setting.
There was also an unpleasant encounter with the host. I tried to dry my shoes in the dryer (since the heater wasn't working and I do it back home as well) after washing it. It was making a lot of noise but I stayed awhile to make sure it was okay before leaving. After awhile, the host banged on my room's door, I opened and he was shouting at me about the shoes and dryer, threw the shoes in front of me after he was done and left.
I went to apologise and we settled the incident amicably. He also apologised. I would like to clarify that I'm not trying to put them in a bad light, in fact it was my fault for assuming that I could use the dryer the same way as I usually do back home. But I felt the way the message was delivered could have been better. And I believe that as the host, making the decision to share your apartment, there should be a certain level of tolerance for whatever your guest may do whether intentionally or not (I'm not saying that paying gives me the right to do whatever).
They seemed to be very apologetic as they were even nicer to us after that incident. We would also like to point out that this may be due to a longer stay (2 weeks) as many other guests who came and left during our stay seemed to be satisfied.
