Disappointing
We do not recommend renting this unit. It is not as described. We booked for 2 weeks and after 3 nights left because we could not stay comfortably. This unit is actually communal living, which is not clearly outlined in the description. Upon arrival, we expressed our disappointment with the owner and asked for at least a one-week refund. We were given a flat answer of ‘no’ without any attempt by the owner to try & correct any of the misconceptions. Kitchen- Listed as a gourmet kitchen. At best a basic kitchen with 2 pots, 2 cheap frying pans & one large stock pot. The knives were of poor quality that did not even cut a tomato correctly, & very few serving dishes. Bedroom/” Walk- In” Closet- There is no privacy as there is no door to close the bedroom off from the rest of the unit. The closet is of normal size. It has two hanging rods & shelves in the middle. Some of the shelf space was taken up by linens & one half of hanging space was occupied by cleaning equipment such as vacuum, making it impossible to use. Living Area-There is one leather sofa, but the 3 cushions (attached to each other) slide off together regularly. The only other seating are 2 counter height IKEA stools, not comfortable at all for more than eating quickly. Amenities- it says the renter has access to the facilities on the estate, which is true, but there are none available at the unit. We asked for a barbeque to be placed on the deck & were told there was a ban on barbeques. This was completely untrue. We checked with authorities & there was no propane barbeque ban whatsoever. The expectation was to pack everything you wanted for barbequing, lug/drive it up hill & barbeque on the communal barbeques. The description does not say any of this transporting uphill to access estate facilities. There was not any furniture on the deck to enjoy a coffee in the morning. The expectation was to go up hill & use the lounges available to all. Unrealistic for first thing in the morning. The only outdoor furniture at the unit was a cheap set of plastic table & chairs, which we had to move onto the deck, & not at all comfortable. Laundry was available for use, but the description did not say it was coin operated. Also expected to take garbage each day, uphill again, to dispose of in the estate’s facilities. The expectation of guests, no matter age or mobility, to trudge uphill is unrealistic & should be clearly stated.
After leaving, we contacted the owner again, still no refund

quiet, serene, pretty, secluded ... sleep so well!
Great spot, great space and lovely hostess who happily showed me all the features and benefits of what was to be my new home. Also thought this spot worthy enough to google review ... so I guess that would give it 10 stars!
