I would write a very honest review here. Daniel has been a great communicator, he replies within a few minutes. Check-in was great without any issues. The area was good, quiet without any issues with parking etc.
there are few issues that I noticed were not great about this property common even though it has been stated on the description but I think it is worth mentioning here.
Lack privacy-The host has set up a video camera at the front door. However it offers security, however it breaches the privacy of the guests. In addition to the same there is a window/glass window opening up from his house to the main area where the TV room is.. The host never used any blinds to close the window. We as a family felt very uncomfortable about it.
Kichnette- there is a kitchenette with just coffee and tea. It has microwave as well as hot pot. However we were missing a lot of things like salt pepper and ketchup. However the host offered it and brought it the next day to the doorstep. We ended up not using it as it was too late.
Too intrusive- The host stays upstairs. We had someone dropping off stuff at her house, about to leave which was another family we were meeting after a long time as well. The host immediately message to us to let the guests leave. Within three minutes both partners/guests, hosts appeared at our doorstep. We were not loud either to cause any disturbance. He immediately asked us to leave within 10 minutes. This was too insulting for our guests who were just there for 15 minutes. We decided to stay outside in the street without causing any problems or excessive noise. After 20 minutes the host came to the street asking us to leave. It was not even on his property. (just to mention we were just standing in the raining cold temperature just to meet over family)
And other people were strangers to him. We found it to be on the line/boundaries.
We stayed there for a couple of days for a family reunion after five years. The host was aware about the same.
Property- The sliding doors of the property are only able to locked by putting a log of wood as a safety measure. This is to old style and is not hundred percent secure.
Otherwise well furnished property inside.
Communication-as mentioned earlier, he’s a great communicator and was able to send us multiple messages through our stay. However I felt all those messages were pre-written templates which is used for all the customers. And are intended to get positive reviews only.
