The positive is that the location was good for our needs, that is fairly central to the activities we wanted. The home is located close to stores, places to eat, and recreation. The place is generally quiet. The host was reponsive and replaced a non-working kettle that we found upon arrival.
The negatives are numerous. The place is old and the fixtures, fittings, and furnishings are shoddy. The place was grubby and we had to call for the freezer to be cleaned because it was moldy. We found a baby feeding bottle under the sofa which was quite disgusting. Clearly the place had not been cleaned properly prior to our entry.
We found the room lighting in the living room and bedrooms very inadequate due to there being no ceiling lights. The only lighting was floor standing lights and table lights.
We felt uneasy in the place at times, suspecting that there had been people in the house whilst we were out, and our privacy was not respected. A hasp and lock was fitted to a cupboard whilst out.
