Reviewer Type: Family With Children
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Clean and well-equipped kitchen amenities, clean bedding, comfy bed, and clean bath with hot water.
Negative: Oddly run down. In stark contrast to the clean kitchen, bedlinens and bath, the walls (especially base board) and carpet were filthy. Looks like it used to be a nice place, but now there's barely anyone working there. Nice receptionist, but no security (there's a gate, but no attendant - anyone can push the button to let themselves in). The #2 (2 bedroom with loft) house where we stayed was incredibly musty. We had to keep all the windows open to make it bearable, even if it was pouring with rain, or too cold or too hot. The living room pillows and upholstered furniture was super damp to the touch. The downstairs bedroom/bath was so incredibly musty that it seemed unhealthy to use that room. We kept our suitcases closed since there were all kinds of critters in the house, from cockroaches, moths, to snails, ++. Any clean, dry clothing left out got considerably damp and musty overnight. The upstairs bathroom hot water barely dribbled out of the bath faucet. NO WIFI, NO AIRCON, NO FAN. No wonder this place was empty. We only saw one other guest only one of the nights there.
