Not quite as expected
The host did a good job of communicating, and helped with a great car rental. But I wouldn’t quite call the rental “charming” as it’s described in the listing. It was in no way “charming”. It was fairly clean, which was appreciated. But basics were not in place. Not enough towels or blankets, and between 3 coffee pots, none were really clean, or not broken in some way. 1 bowl, a few plates. Mismatched coffee cups. No kitchen supplies, not even salt & pepper. The worst part were the pillows, which looked dirty and moldy. Broken hanger in the closet. The listing suggests in photos that there is a nice deck with a view. The photo in the listing shows lovely matching dishes and a nice table. That is the upstairs listing, but not for this one. Our deck was dirty, chairs without cushions and no table. There was a boat moored in the canal, blocking any possible view of sunrise or sunset. It looked like someone was working or living on the boat, and we didn’t feel comfortable sitting out there. The neighborhood felt safe, and it was mostly quiet, except for a loud upstairs neighbor. Music after 10pm sometimes. It was near the dive shop we were with, so location was okay for us. But no grocery stores or restaurants nearby. A car is necessary. New bedding, towels, and a set of dishesWould go a long way in making this rental more comfortable for others. We regretted our choice.
