"The owners are nice and the location is excellent with grocery stores, car rental, gas and train stations all within a 20 minute walk/two minute drive. The bed was very comfortable and was fitted with quality linens that made for a great sleep.
There were however a few things that did taint the experience. Personally, if I were planning to host a guest I would make sure that major construction work be planned so as not to overlap with a guest’s stay. Having to walk through the garage to access the front entrance - okay. Being unable to park in the designated car spot because the driveway is drying - fine. Having power outages that resulted in no hot water, while workers could be heard walking on the roof above the bedroom is where it started to feel like there was an expectation to roll with the changing conditions of an active construction site.
I think the accommodation itself needs a deep clean and some general upkeep. I cleaned the kettle which had significant build up inside, possibly from hard water, and the washer/dryer had a noticeable stale odour. Laundry detergent was nearly empty when I arrived. TV remote out of battery and no spares. Construction dust piled behind the sink. Pool was cloudy. Lastly, I killed two cockroaches in the living room.
Along similar lines to a previous review, I think this property has potential, but it seems to be a pattern that the hosts put the guest experience second."
