I will start with what was appreciated and what we feel was off-putting.
1) Having fruit, coffee and water available was a huge plus!
2) Feeding the neighbor’s animals was very fun and unexpected as well.
3) The view is breathtaking and the decor is very nice.
What could have been better…
1) The linens and bedding were not up to par with the location or pricing. Very rough and stiff.
2) It is a shared apartment, not an entire house as otherwise listed. We could hear the owner walking around from the adjacent room. We did not have the privacy we had originally expected.
3) Calling a guest at midnight to ask about a running toilet is never acceptable, as is entering premises without permission.
4) The process of leaving premises is exhausting. Closing all sluggish shutters, the lights, putting on a sign on the door so the alarms can be turned on. Most of the price of the house is rightfully based on the incredible view, but it was such a painstaking process to leave every time that we left the shutters closed for most of our stay.
5) We were given 1 towel each for a 5 day stay and received a weird attitude when we asked for more on day 3.
All in all the experience was at times breathtaking, but mostly uncomfortable. I’m sure the host means well, but hospitality does not come naturally to her.
