Firstly, we would wholeheartedly recommend staying at Andrea's place. The positives are numerous but we did have a couple of glitches with our stay.

The house is of a very high standard. The decor, furniture and kitchen accessories are all of a good quality. There is definitely attention to detail with many extra things that make your stay comfortable. For us, comfortable beds, sofas, pillows and blankets are essential and Andrea's place had these. In some holiday rentals we've previously stayed in, you can tell the landlord has just filled the property with their unwanted and outdated belongings: this is NOT the case at Andrea's. Most of kitchen crockery, glassware, towels and bed linens are new and matching there are also really nice pieces of art and decorations. The location is worth noting as being convenient for 2 large retail outlets a mile in each direction. There is a great range of supermarkets, restaurants, spas etc. The neighbourhood also feels very safe and we walked and ran around area quite happily.

We did have one major issue during our stay. The pool, which was one of the main attractions for staying at the property, was only open for one out of the forty days of our stay. I did specifically email Andrea in advance to check that the pool would be open for the duration or the stay and she indicated that it would be. Upon arrival we were informed it would be closed for building and maintenance which she was unaware of beforehand. Andrea did offer appropriate compensation towards the end of the stay which resolved the matter. The only other minor issues: the kettle needed replacing and the washing machine was quite aggressive with delicate clothing. Also, a more timely response rate for prior email communications would have been helpful.
