What a disappointment. We can't quite understand what went wrong in the 18 short months since our last stay. Water damage to the kitchen cupboards resulting in mold growth...Peeling wall paper... Blistering and bubbling of paint above the sliding doors... No attempt to correct the damage and possibly the cause of a sinus infection by day 4 requiring medical attention. No satellite connection for the television which resulted in no television at all for 8 nights. No news. No weather. No entertainment. The host ignored my second message regarding this. The bed sagged in the middle which caused sleepless nights and back ache for days while the pillows were so flat from use that no amount of reshaping or 'fluffing' could resurrect them... This offered no support and thinking we could use the scatter cushions only resulted in the shock of the stench of stale body odour on them which would never offer any comfort never mind support. The bedding which we remember from our last trip now bears the stains of many visitors and really requires a burning instead of a washing. The towels left out for us consisted of a hand towel and a bath towel. Remembering the plush bath sheets we once used led us to the built in cupboards where the now bleach stained bath sheets were sent to purgatory. The holiday we once dreamed of - was now a living nightmare. No longer a home away from home in one of our favourite cities in the world. A strong sense of neglect to this home. Not fair on any visitor or tourist who believes they've made an informed decision. We're left bitter and resentful.
