We felt this home was fine, we would not stay again or recommend it, but I do think it may have been a one off bad clean

6.0

We appreciated the walk ability of the home to all the things around town including local walking / hiking trails We also were happy to have laundry, which was one of our reasons for booking the property

I suspect this is not the usual but the home was not well cleaned with wet sheets and towels overloaded on the dryer, coffee grounds in the pot and a dirty coffee pot, toilet paper left on the paper towel roll with no paper towels in the home, and dark hair on the ground and carpet. The stairs are exceptionally steep and there are caution signs at the base and top. They’re fine, but with bedrooms upstairs and the bathroom downstairs it’s challenging at night. Also weird art work. But that’s not a big deal

Convenient location and spacious room

It's a house so it's very spacious. The host is very kind and very responsive and helpful! Instructions are clear with all details and photos so that we found the place very easily. The house is very close to the port so there is no concern for us for joining the tour in time. On the walking path to the port there is a small pizza / take away - quite delicious. Supermarket is not nearby on foot but only few minutes drive.

Infrastructure in the kitchen could be improved bit, although it's not a big deal for us as we go out to eat eventually.

Pessimo

4.0

Mi spiace fare una recensione così negativa ma le foto ingannano parecchio. L’appartamento era sporco e poco curato. Al nostro arrivo abbiamo trovato l’asciugatrice in funzione,quindi non è stato possibile lavare nulla. Ogni mobile che abbiamo aperto conteneva cose sporche e usate forse dal proprietario stesso. Il bagno si trova al piano terra mentre le camere sono al primo piano,non tanto comodo.

La serratura della porta d’ingresso non funziona,quindi siamo stati costretti a lasciare la porta aperta. Letti scomodi. Asciugamani con odore sgradevole. Manca uno scolapasta in cucina.

WC ja makuuhuoneet eri kerroksissa. Kapea jyrkkä porras kerrosten välillä. Vesi hanasta ei ollut juomakelpoista
