Although the property was as listed, there were key items missing like a toaster, sugar, hair dryer, scissors. Also there was a problem with the water pump while we there, to which it needed to be replaced. The host did let us know about water pressure issues just before we checked in, which we had no choice to accept anyways at this late notice. A neighbour did k on us but then during our stay the pump was replaced which led to no water for 4 hours and afterward brown water to which we could not do laundry or have a shower. This was hard with two young kids in tow. Communication was not great to let us know this would be the result of the water pump being replaced. When we advised the host of our disappointment, we did not feel he understood why this was an issue. Going to a strange house down the road to go to the bathroom or buying our own water to dump down the toilette were not great solutions to a problem like this. We ended up spending a whole bunch of extra money to go out to eat and buy drinkable water. Not the relaxing enjoyable time we were hoping for. We know things come up but communication and timing is everything. If the water was going to be that bad after the change of pump, maybe wait until after we check out. Or if inevitable, maybe give us some of our money back. I hate writing bad reviews but we have been travelling for a month and were hoping to have some relaxation time at a cottage which did not happen with our two young kids.
