While I understand that the host does not live nearby, having to go to one location to pick up the keys and then spend time searching and asking several people for directions to the property itself after a ten-hour flight was frustrating and not a great way to start the stay.That said, the location itself was fantastic—close to a variety of attractions and convenient public transportation. The bedrooms were a good size, the bathrooms were clean and well maintained, and the laundry room was excellent.However, there were several things that made the stay less welcoming. Expecting guests staying for only a week to purchase basic necessities such as salt, pepper, and cooking oil feels unnecessarily unaccommodating. Only providing one roll of paper towels for the entire stay added to that impression. At some point, the nickel-and-diming becomes excessive.There was also no real coffee table in the living room, which made it difficult to comfortably relax on the couch and put your feet up. Additionally, there were cigarette butts left in the ashtray.Overall, the location was excellent, and the accommodations had some definite positives, but the lack of basic amenities and a few avoidable details took away from what could have been a much more comfortable and welcoming stay.
