The amenities were lacking. Upon arrival the unit lacks an entry light, making it difficult to get the key out in the dark. And there isn’t a light switch once the door is open to light the stairway. The unit was uncomfortably cold upon arrival and didn’t become comfortable for about 24 hours of tuning up the baseboard heaters. There were not enough blankets in the unit to sleep comfortably on the first night. The host did bring an extra blanket the next morning.The unit does not have a coffee table making it awkward to relax while watching tv while enjoying tea or any drink.Finally, there was an issue with the water coming out of the faucets. All faucets when opened for the first time provided rusty water. It ran clean after leaving on. The exception was the bathtub which started every morning with rusty water. I notified the host and provided video evidence. I purchased drinking water for myself because I was unsure it was safe to drink the water.Do these reasons, I would not book this unit for another visit.
