I was waiting for instructions on how to enter the property only to find out I had to go through a security screening. Nowhere was this mentioned to me prior to the day of arrival. In fact, the only way I found out was when I messaged the host.The location is not suitable for elderly people or people with bad legs as it is a climb to get up the 61 spiral stairs. The property details do mention no lift, but it's at the end and not noticeable. I opened a packet of soap and it was so old that it crumbled into pieces. I went to use the hair dryer and it was so sticky that I didn't want to touch it.The instruction booklet was so out of date, that I had to message the host multiple times to turn up the heat, to get departure instructions and more.
