The good: the bed was super comfortable. The house was charming and filled with art and interesting furniture. Location is great, too.

The not so good: communication with host is not easy, as he doesn't live in the house all the time. Phone communication is sometimes out of reach, too. We arrived late at night to a very cold house without anyone to show us where things were and how they worked. We struggled the next morning to get the iron to work and finally gave up. The heating system broke down that day, and we understand things can happen. But we should have been informed of the inconveniences to get prepared. The kitchen looked like no one really lived there and took care of it; cabinets were filled with tools that should not belong in the kitchen.

Robert fixed the heating the second day we were there, and we appreciate the fact that he acknowledged the problem. This place might work fine as a backpackers' place, but it lacks some of the important basics that we need. These things are not difficult to fix, as long as the host takes the effort to. If you plan to stay here, check ahead for the essentials. This really can be a great house, it just needs some work.
