The location of this house is great and the beds comfortable. The house was also clean and the little toiletries and folded towels on each bed was a nice touch. We were however quite disappointed with the lack of communication from the host. We stayed here for 8 nights had numerous issues with this house. The appliances are old and both the dishwasher and washing machine were broken during our stay. I was very disappointed with the lack of response from the host about our issues even from before we checked in. He eventually wrote back telling me he had been out of town but our stay was made unpleasant by having to wring out every load of laundry by hand and come home to a flood in the kitchen from the dishwasher. This is an old house with poor heating (living room gets warm but kitchen is freezing) and just generally feels worn down. We could not get the fireplace to work and there are no instructions for anything (how to work the fireplace, where to put the garbage, etc). Sorry but would not recommend for a longer stay.
