We had several issues with the house. When we first arrived the thermostat was set to cool and was locked so that we could not turn on the heat. This was on a day where it snowed and temps were freezing— it took a while to get in contact with the host (he had warned us before he would be somewhere without cell service) but we were able to get in touch with his mom quickly and eventually got in touch with him to unlock the thermostat. The back room did not have great heating and it got pretty cold at night. Additionally we found lots of ants on the kitchen counter, the toilet broke halfway through our stay, and there was a very bad smell coming from the back room. We were a little disappointed with the place :( but it was manageable and it seems like the problems we had could easily be fixed.
