Marianne’s place is in a great location and is no doubt a good place. Unfortunately we had to spend the first 2 days cleaning as the kitchen was really grimey, coffee machine and blender unusable, pieces of food on cutlery and in drawers. The listing said there was an electric kettle which we needed upon arrival to make baby formula, only to find there wasn’t one there. Marianne did get us one the next day, but it was a miss in the listing. We asked about the door passcode and found that it had already been in use, which also made the security of the place feel a little shakey. The outdoor area is much smaller than the photos suggest, and was a mess with broken furniture which we also spent time tidying and fixing to make it usable. When we asked Marianne about some of the broken furniture she said she was aware but hadn’t fixed it. The waste disposal had a note saying not to use it, which we didn’t, and when the sink backed up Marianne said she was aware it wasn’t working and would send a plumber. Due to Covid and a small infant in the house we didn’t want anyone coming in so lived with a backed up sink. This would all have been somewhat forgivable had we not been charged almost $2000 extra for our stay a month before our booking began. We booked 6 months in advance to secure our price, only to have Marianne cancel and make us rebook for an increased fee a month beforehand, when we had no other options. It’s unfortunate as Marianne’s place has so much to offer.
