Check in was very simple, the place was very clean when we arrived and the landlord was very responsive...at first.
The bad news started shortly after checking in. The only enquiry I made before booking was if the pool was heated and I was advised that it is not heated, but the they hot tub was. We quickly discovered that neither was heated and typically full of leaves. No biggie...we just moved on.
Its a very nice house with lots of room and very comfy beds. However it is very tired. The laminate floors in the kitchen and dining room are puckered from water damage and the carpeting is also pretty old and nasty looking.
Then found that the following other items did not work...ice maker, oven, microwave, and while there was hot water the water pressure was very low when it was on. The sliding patio door also didnt have a lock...there was a tiny piece of wood used as security. Based on the scary neighbours accross the street, it did not instill much confidence.
We were just a couple of buddies on a golf trip so we didnt complain,we just made due with the stove top and grill. The straw that broke the camels back however was on the final night when the grill ran out of propane and I asked where the spare was kept. I was advised rather unceremoniously that it was my problem as it was a BYOP! I ended up having to find a propane center that was open and having to swap out the tank. Pissed!
I have since asked the owner for some compensation and been accused of blackmail.
