This place was not what we had hoped. Let's start with the pros.
Pros
- Beautiful views. Absolutely stunning sunsets, comfortable, sealed in balcony, nice and warm
- Parts of the house were nicely renovated, such as the kitchen, or some of the walls
- These looked clean and gave a nice feeling
- Easy to check in
Cons
- The cleanliness and vibe of the house are our primary complaints
- The carpets have some sort of pilling which is a consequence possibly of their age, which is difficult to clean, however ultimately makes one feel as if it's very very dirty (even if it isn't)
- There were parts which were not so well maintained, in stark contrast to the nicer, renovated parts of the house: one door in one of the bedrooms had a hole in it which looked as if it were kicked at one point, and there are numerous exposed cables, wires, screws poking out here and there in the corners. It gives an unfinished, messy feel to the house even if they aren't outright dangerous, it just didn't feel as nice
- Cleanliness - we were cleaning some of the dishes when a fly flew up out of the tea towel - Yuck!
- Amenities - there was only shampoo, no conditioner. Perhaps forgiveable, but there wasn't body wash or soap either - what was in the bottle was diluted to water
Summary
Overall, an average priced property, a little old, spectacular views, but just aspects of cleanliness and unfinished edges made it feel not quite as welcoming as one would hope. If these are addressed we have no doubt this would make for a wonderful property.
