My guess is that this accommodation is much more suited to younger people who have more physical and emotional flexibility than my wife and I, who are in our early 80s. We booked in great part on the basis of numerous rave reviews. Our reality was different from many others’.
The location is great, and the efforts of the hosts to be supportive and flexible were, too. On the whole, despite the several issues I cite below, the stay was comfortable.
Keeping in mind that some or much of the following may be a function of age, here are the problems we encountered:
•	Directions for unlocking doors were unclear, but I understand that the hosts are revising the instructions, and I sent them some recommendations.
•	The shower head was too high for my barely 5-foot wife. She took it down and left it down. For me (who could reach it without a problem), placing it in the right position was elusive.
•	The kitchen floor is uneven and a bit tricky to walk on.
•	the two stools in the dining area had no backs, which could be an issue for someone with back problems.
•	I imagine young people would be out on the town in the evening and not need the TV, but our habit is to be active during the day, eat out, and then go “home.” Rest up, and watch TV until it’s time to go to sleep. As suggested in the photo, the TV is in a terrible position for watching from bed (probably true even for young eyes). You can, however, rotate the heavy couch 90 degrees and turn the TV towards it.
•	If you're a curmudgeon like me and hate trying to soap your body with liquid soap, pack a bar of soap.
•	Adjusting the heat required contacting the hosts for help. I have no idea if this would be the same for air conditioning.
•	Cleaning and dishwashing: It was annoying to have paid what to us was a hefty cleaning fee and yet be expected to wash the dishes ourselves (not a huge task, but still…). We also realized (too late) that this could be a serious health problem: how does a new guest know that the previous guest washed the dishes hygienically? I’ve mentioned this to the hosts.
•	There is information about recycling that we couldn't understand. Perhaps the hosts will fix this.
•	Pleasant as the hosts are over the phone, their written instructions, some of which were repeated multiple times during our stay, had the tone of an angry drill sergeant.
•	Appearance: We’re probably spoiled, but we found the condition of the hallway, and to some extent, the unit of the room quite offputting. When I was young, I probably wouldn't have cared.
•	I was grateful I always bring an electric extension cord with me…until the end of the trip, when checking all the drawers and discovering you had one in a night table. It would be helpful to have all such amenities identified with information on where to find them.
•	Electricity: when it’s dark, you have to grope your way to the kitchen light which is between the kitchen and sleeping area. There’s an outlet on only one side of the bed, so if you want to charge multiple items, you need to use a plug beyond the end of the bed. Only at the end did we discover an extension cord in a bedside table drawer. (I always bring one with me anyway.)
•	There’s a small fridge with an ice compartment and refillable ice trays. Don’t expect to fit too much into the fridge part, but we managed ok with things like a carton of milk and fruit.
•	We arrived in the dark, and only the next morning did I spot the small sign for where to park. (Or maybe we arrived in daylight and I was blind after our 2-hour drive…).
