The property was nicely updated. However, the hot water in my shower was not working. So cold I could not shower. So compensation in any way offered.

Hi Cassandra, Please accept my apologies, I know that there was an issue with the hot water one day but from what I understood from other guests comments it was just a delay in the hot water going up which was fixed a bit later in the afternoon. Please reach out to me my name is Giancarlo so we can talk about it please. Thank you for taking the time to let us know.
