Location: Fantastic view and easy access. Gorgeous sunset.
Cottage: Vintage cabin feel, but dirty, full of spider webs that were not cleaned from previous client. I spent 30 minutes removing over 20 spider webs from the bedroom to the bathroom and kitchen. Listing says 3 bedrooms, but only has 2. Bathroom does not have privacy: it has no proper door and the wall is open to a bedroom. So outsiders can hear and see you. The entire cottage felt dirty, and we had to make our own bed.
Host: He's responsive, but not accommodating to a slightly later checkout. His checkout time was 10am, and when I mentioned that standard checkouts are usually 11am or 12pm, he mentioned that it was mentioned in the listing. That was a lie, as it was only shared after a non-refundable payment. His property rules charge you a penalty if you move furniture, don't take out the trash or even leave 5 mins late. Needless to say, those strict rules and lack of customer service were disappointing.
