What I liked: The location and setting were excellent. The patio garden area was delightful, and the park and walking paths right outside the gate were a great bonus. The 10 to 15 minute walk to shopping, train station and local sights was easy. The kitchen was large and fairly well provided with dishes, pans, etc. Great for families and for a few nights stay. What I didn’t like: A warmer welcome (both literally and figuratively) would have been very appreciated. When guests have travelled a long way to arrive at the property, a working thermostat and a few food items would have provided a much better start to our stay. Walking into a cold house after a day of travel and finding nothing to welcome our arrival but a small pack of Oreos was a bit depressing. Poor start which could have been easily remedied. Some of the food items left behind should have been cleaned out before new guests came (3 opened bags of rice, some dubious looking condiments and coffee, etc). Again, an easy fix to make this a much more memorable stay.
