This property has a great location and a parking space right outside. Wonderful. To access the lockbox you have to crawl on your hands and knees as it is locked at ground level amongst the bushes. We had a choice of 3 codes and of course it was the last one we tried. We entered the house needing the toilet after a long drive. No toilet paper , no soap, no towel in downstairs bathroom.So we went to use upstairs bathroom . No toilet paper and no bathroom light so had to pee in the dark. Messaged host who told us to look in cupboards for a bulb . No bulb located and said bathroom light was a screw in fixture very high up. Not sure what we were supposed to stand on to reach. No bathroom exhaust either so suspect it was a bit more than just a bulb. Shop nearby so purchased toilet paper and soap. Kitchen well equipped but no oil. Info on house said this was provided. Back to shop . Went to eat dinner. No black pepper. Info says this is provided. Back to shop. Went to shower. No shower curtain. One bath towel and 3 hand towels provided. Messaged host again who was very responsive and told us to look in cupboards. Info says do NOT take any towels from cupboards. Last minute we had been advised that there would be linens drying in the house. Wet bed linen over banister and a rack of wet towels in living room. Couldn't log into wifi. Couldn't find network. Messaged host. He responded giving us different wifi code. Went to bed to read a book. No bulb in lamp. Took lamp from other bedroom. Lamp didn't work. The patio, described as 'beautiful' was dirty with debris in the corners and dead plants. Furniture rotten and in disarray. 2 chairs had missing slats. My son sat in one and slats broke. Patio in shade in evening . Other households sat out front in evenings but the front of this property is overgrown so has no sunlight and no outdoor furniture. The front of the house needs cleaning up as it could be a nice useable communal space. The front door sticks at the bottom so a struggle to open from inside. A FIRE RISK IF YOU NEEDED TO GET OUT IN A HURRY.
In summary this property has so much potential but needs some attention to detail re maintenance, cleaning , laundry and fixing up the outdoor spaces. We chose this property so we could meet up with adult children outside. Host needs to deliver what is promised in listing. Host very nice in his communication but he did not solve our problems .
