Beginning with a late check-in (cleaner was still at the premises for another 45 minutes after we arrived as scheduled), we were greeted with an overwhelming bleach and/or disinfectant smell throughout the house, sticky and streaked wood floors, carpets downstairs damp (and continuing to dry for the next day), grime and dirt in many corners of bathrooms and kitchen. But we tried to have a positive attitude and settled in.
Over the next 24 hours and unhappy about the lack of cleanliness, we took a closer look at the rooms especially kitchen and bathrooms. Thinking about preparing the first dinner we noticed the kitchen was not equipped as described and depicted on photos published for this listing. Countertop surfaces and cabinets were missing resulting in marginally acceptable food preparation areas. Worn out frying pans and pots unsuitable for an electric flat glass cook stove (old with dirty oven) made preparing meals laughably inefficient. Built-in wall cabinets were not deep enough to store pans and lids without leaving cabinet doors ajar. The short curtain at the kitchen window was stained brown and ugly. Considering the advertised potential occupancy of up to 12 people we felt the kitchen was woefully inadequate with respect to work surfaces, cabinet space and appliances.
The downstairs bathtub drain was so slow that you stood ankle deep in water shortly after starting to shower. As mentioned before, the carpets downstairs remained damp for our stay with a strong odor of bleach and/or disinfectant.
Numerous light bulbs were either missing, burnt out or the wrong ones for the light fixture.
The dryer was left full of towels.
The concrete patio outside of one of the downstairs bedrooms was not furnished with table and chairs as depicted in the photos but was just a picnic table.
The rug in the living room was worn and shabby with two of the carpet corners closest to the walking path curled up to being a serious trip hazard.
All wood floors were sticky and streaked, squeaky and noisy.
The wooden entry gate had to be lifted to close dragging over uneven ground.
In closing this place needs more than a little TLC given the asking price per night. And last but not least, a more caring Host who pays attention to their guests' wellbeing and comfort would be a good first start.
