Wouldn’t recommend this stay. I usually hesitate to write negative reviews but unfortunately this stay just had too much wrong not to note:
1. As another reviewer mentioned, the smoke detector started beeping in error at 11:00 pm on the second night. I contacted the host asking if I could disable it couldn’t figure it out for two hours. I received a curt reply the following morning on how to turn it off, no apology for the issue. The next night it started going off again at 1:00 am. It’s clearly an ongoing issue and makes me question whether or not the smoke detector works, which is unsafe.
2. The hand soap in the bathroom had been watered down rather than filled up, which didn’t feel great in a pandemic.
3. There was no silverware? And try as I might, it’s pretty hard to eat a salad with cooking tongs.
4. The stairs into the cottage hadn’t been shoveled which meant that coming and going from the cottage was dicey.
5. As everyone else has noted, the road is loud and genuinely right out the window.
Not an issue per say but something to note for international travelers who might be depending on Wifi: the wifi isn’t written down in the flat, it’s only on the online platform Vince is using for everything, so make sure you get the wifi password while you have other wifi or you’ll be in quite a pickle like I found myself.
