First off, let me just say that despite any issues described below, this place is still a great value - great location, private entrance and bathroom, full kitchen, comfortable bed, garden area, etc. My main concerns are around details of upkeep that seemed to be not attended to, nothing major (maybe it was a busy day and there was insufficient time to turn over the room between guests???) - Probably the worst of them was that the linens (pillow cases, towels, bed sheets, etc.) all smelled like they'd been left wet in the washing machine too long before being dried. They smelled very strongly sour/mildewy. Fortunately, since the laundry room is also in the basement, I just rewashed everything and then it was fine. There was a broken lamp (pieces stacked up next to it) next to the bed (maybe awaiting superglue??) -Why not just remove it? I had to rewash many of the dishes before I used them - this is common when dishwashing is left to the guests, as so few people know how to wash a dish - but they should have been checked afterward. There was one pot lid that clearly had not even been attempted to be washed, so was easily noticeable. Various little things like that that did not in any way ruin my stay, but fell short of ideal. However, the place is comfortable, lots of amenities provided (toiletries, iron, hangers, cooking utensils, city maps, reading material, wifi, laundry, produce from garden, alarm clock, tea/coffee, spices/cooking oil, etc.) and is very reasonably priced.
