You can expect a place that is in an excellent location to historical sites, great restaurants and pubs, and access to convenient modes of transportation. Do not expect a cozy or homey place. Do not expect to use the appliances in the kitchen - they do not work. Do not expect the host to be accommodating or timely in responding to your inquiries or requests. Make sure that you assess the place as soon as you arrive, and make note of anything that may be inoperable or not functioning.
