The stay was fine because of our ability as a family to adapt to different situations. We knew about the linens, towels, toaletries, etc., but didn't have clear picture of how many beds and what sizes we should expect to find in the house, which made us bring more linens for different scenarios. The hot weather made the stay miserable in the first few days and the ceiling fan didn't help nor did the other very dusty portable fans. The warning that the house doesn't have a carbon monoxide alarm made me feel uneasy during our stay. The house provides all basic needs for a stay, but because it's old it doesn't give much comfort. All the old and dusty objects and amenities of the house are preventing an enjoyable vacation. With all this comment I don't want to offend anybody, but I choose to be honest. I understand that different people have different opinions about what is valuable and what not. Old doesn't mean that it can not be enjoyable. But to be enjoyable it requires to be clean, tidy, functioning well and be secure. And then, it can be even charming. The communication before arrival was delayed and uncertain. After that it was fine.
