I found that this house was more style over substance. It's a lovely, spacious house with three floors. I didn't mind this at all. It's great exercise. It has a garage which was very useful. The beds were comfortable and the furnishings were lovely. Getting access to the house was really easy and instructions were sent prior to or arrival. It's right by the lake and five minutes drive from the local supermarket.
I think I was probably unlucky compared to other people who stayed at this house. On my arrival, the lights in the kitchen area were not working. There were other lights in the house that were not working. I contacted Chris and he arranged for an electrician to fix this the next day. The fire alarm was also beeping intermittently. This was really annoying and I ended up having to dismantle the fire alarm. (The other fire alarm in the house was fine).
The shower was frustrating. The bracket holding the shower head was loose. What with the water pressure, the water ended up on the ceiling, going over the glass panes surrounding the shower. I ended up having to mop up lots of water with towels. Not fun. Also, water from the shower goes through the small gaps of the shower door so you would have to put a towel down to ensure you're not stepping out onto a puddle of water when you're finished showering.
The house could've been cleaner but the overall standard was satisfactory. There were bits of food still on the carpet underneath the dining table and chairs, the bedside tables were dusty and there was hair on the floor of the upstairs toilet. The dishwasher tablet didn't dissolve completely so you may find that the crockery and cutlery may be stained/not completely clean.
You do hear some noise from the traffic more so from the top bedroom.
It would've been helpful if a manual or instructions were provided for the AC and heating system and other electrical items like the TV and cooker. For whatever reason, I could only get one channel on the TV.
The WIFI connection in the house is excellent and very fast. When reporting issues, Chris was very responsive and he picked up the phone every time I called. Also prior to my trip, I asked if a hair dryer could be provided and it was. This was very much appreciated.
