We had a 2 night stay and the location next to the river was great. Host communication was also quick and responsive, plus he provided a water bottle for each person as well as port wine which was much appreciated.
However, there were a few things that we didn’t expect and that’s why I’m giving a lower rating because these are fundamental issues and not something the host could’ve fixed during our stay.
- Handheld shower head only: The host explained after our stay that the previous guest had broken the shower head but it would’ve been appreciated if he had told us prior. It was quite inconvenient in such a small open shower space.
- Sewage smell: I’m not sure if it’s because we were so close to the river but in the mornings and nights there is a sewage smell emanating from bathroom area.
- Loud toilet reservoir: When the toilet didn’t flush, we looked in the tank and realized there wasn’t enough water. When we filled it back up, it flushed but then the noise wouldn’t stop for over an hour and even after we checked out. It was very loud.
- Staircase: There is a very narrow staircase to the 2nd floor which is fine but the floorboards were uneven and loose making us feel unsafe each time we go up/down.
- Bed: Unfortunately the bed was uncomfortably flat and the wooden frame didn’t help.
- WiFi: Extremely spotty and unreliable WiFi to a point where it was slightly faster to just use our data.
We think this location is amazing and with fixes this would be a great place to stay.
