Mark was very communicative, and the place itself is a very good value, with many positives.
Very clean, Nice kitchen, nice bathroom and accessable washer, dryer.
I'm hoping he addresses the following issues:
1. No mention that there were 2 flights of steps up to my room. for some reason it's called the first floor....?? Good thing I'm not disabled.
2. Fan was broken--host should be aware of how equipment is working, and deal with it in advance whenever possible, instead of asking me to borrow one from another guest....there was air conditioning , though, so I was comfortable.
3. There was NO SHADE on the main big window. There was light on all night, including at 3 a.m. Good thing I had my eye mask with me, which I usually don't have...but I still woke up.
4. Coffee maker and coffee, yes, but No Mugs! I found a glass jar on top of the fridge and put a spoon in it so it wouldn't shatter. This was odd as there are dishes and bowls and silverware...
5. And this is big...the TV remote didn't work, and fortunately I had my computer with me...but if I didn't I don't get the sense that Mark would have fixed this for me. He apologized. No way to watch anything without working remote. He told me where batteries might be, but there were none. I didn't bother to ask him to deal with it.
This is an opportunity to address my concerns and because so much else was good, I hope he does!
