"Positives: Beds very comfortable. Good bedding. Good hot water in shower.Host send help right away to resolve a couple of issues. Negatives: place could use some paint on walls and door. Hot water not working well in bathroom and kitchen sink. Barely warm water. Oven was old and not inviting to cook in. Heat pumps don’t heat well throughout. Good thing we bring a portable heater. I have to say the photos made this place look more inviting than actually was so can’t rate as high as I would have...
