I mostly enjoyed my stay at the house. It’s a great piece of history. The house is spacious and very well furnished with a very functional kitchen. The location is ideal and the neighbourhood could not be better. It’s completely walkable and near many attractions. Vicky and Kevin communicated well.
I was a little disappointed as the house was quite cold. I live in Hong Kong so it might just be me but I suspect that’s not the case. It’s an old house which doesn’t have central heating and is quite damp. Vicky and Kevin have provided heaters in the two main rooms and a dehumidifier but for me it wasn’t enough. There’s a thick quilt provided for the bed but I found each morning to be very chilly. The bathroom was always cold. It doesn’t help that the house is quite dark and doesn’t get much sunlight. The photos are very well taken to make the house look bright but it isn’t. Finally, I’m only 5 feet 4 inches but the shower was very low for me.
I understand that all these issues are connected to the age of the house but it turned out to be less comfortable than I hoped.
As a previous review mentioned, the WIFI was not great. It was not good enough for streaming video from iTunes so make sure you download what you want to watch before you arrive.
On the whole I enjoyed my stay but for the money I wanted a higher level of comfort. Maybe I’m just fussy.
