Large home in Victorian Schoolhouse
This home was in a gorgeous Victorian Schoolhouse. The kitchen & dinning room was a large comfortable space and the bedrooms a good size and had good separation which worked for our family of 6. Beds very comfortable. Heating fantastic. Hot water plentiful. The property manager was very attentive with a couple of issues we had during the stay, though the Christmas period made it difficult to sort them out. Having lived in London I am aware of issues with old houses , but felt that there needs to be some more attention paid to the issues within the house given the cost of renting this property. Extremely poor quality & mismatched cutlery, only 6 wine glasses and about 25 water glasses, many chipped plates, broken and absent utensils. The kitchen sink required plunging every day despite the sink traps being used. The Miele dishwasher, we were warned about the heavy door which apparently nothing could be done about. The dishwasher next to it is fine but the 2 doors catch against each other and everything comes flying out. A builder relative looked at dw ,simple fix, secure the Miele dishwasher to the cabinet inside and problem fixed.Some kitchen appliances didn't work/not connected. The internet was extremely patchy and we had to use our own wifi device,( costing us more for data usage) . Some of the furniture is stained ,dirty and damaged and really should not have been in the property.

Unusual property with minor drawbacks
Pros:- Anna Pockney, the property manager. (Prompt useful support and responses) Good location and neighbourhood, public transportation. Quiet and safe. Parking space. Cleanliness of the house. Basic items in refrigerator. Division of bedrooms on different floors, more private. Large comfortable beds. Cons:- [Many of these items are easily fixed] # of stairs (38 just to get to the first b/r) Lack of handrails,(difficult to get suitcases upstairs) Complexity of using the lighting. 2 dozen lights seem to need to be replaced. Bathrooms half dark as a result. No instructions provided for lighting operation. Lack of dishwasher and washing up liquid. Incorrect garbage recycling bags. Refrigerator door does not close correctly. Microwave operation was a mystery. The TV and projection system could not be used even after a 3 generational try. Italian instructions on the remotes. It would have been nice if there had been a Visitor's book.

Spectacular Property
This house is absolutely gorgeous! Anna was so responsive with my questions. The entire family loved this house and had a fabulous time there. We had one small problem with water pressure in one of the bathrooms, but we staggered usage of showers and had no problems. We 100% would recommend this property! Our grandkids (teens and young adults) were thrilled… there is even a piano (all 5 of them play)!
