During the first week of our stay at Jos’ house we experienced problems with hot water and the heating system. Jos has always replied promptly to our messages, however our requests for repairs have not been dealt with in a similar timely manner. The caretaker, who was responsible for these repairs, either was not available or could not attend the repairs due to the boiler being placed in the first floor apartment where other guests were staying and that the caretaker had not access to. Eventually we concluded that for the heating system to work the thermostat had to be set at no less than 26°C, which is an unbearable temperature to have indoor, so we gave up trying to make it work and used instead an electric heater which had been provided as part of the accommodation.
The electric ignition of the kitchen stove is broken so we had to buy a gas lighter. The mattress and the sofa are both very uncomfortable. In the bathroom there is not even a small shelf to put some toiletries.
