This house is fairly much as advertised. It's a little bit of an older place, but that shouldn't count against it. It's in a good location, and clean.
That said, we were fairly disappointed that the central heating was broken -- this is something that wasn't disclosed before our arrival, or acknowledged in the listing or any of our communication with the owner until we arrived and found the inside temperature at a chilly 55F in the middle of November. When I asked the owner if the central heat was working, I was advised that it wasn't, and that there were two oil heaters supplied as a substitute. We were advised to only plug in one at a time because two would trip the circuit breaker. The heater couldn't heat the whole house, and was only good for one room at a time. It took a good while to warm up the master bedroom, and we forfeited using the rest of the house.
We managed to sleep okay once the room was warm, but the master bedroom only has two wall sockets, one of which was occupied by the heater, and the other didn't work. All of our plugs fell out when trying to use the socket, none of them would stay connected. It made it hard to charge our phones and have a reliable alarm clock in the room.
It may have just been unfortunate timing with the central heat, but the fact that it wasn't communicated to us beforehand made us feel as though we had been purposely misled. On top of that, the owner asked us to pay the pet fee twice. It was his mistake, and he finally figured out, but only after we corrected him and explained the details of our original payment. The exchange of communications was strained and it felt like they were trying to get an extra hundred out of us. Again, possibly a mistake on their part, but when the responsibility was put on our shoulders to tell them that their record keeping was incorrect, all the events together made us wish that we'd gotten a hotel instead.
I don't like leaving bad reviews, and I know that this will affect the host, but I can't in good conscience leave a good review. I don't think I'd stay here again.
