We did not have a terrific stay here. We came to the house to find a dead mouse and mouse droppings along multiple walls of the house. The hostess explained that they have to set poison out given the area they are in which is totally fine and she even offered to have the housekeepers come out and dispose of the mouse. If it was just that as an honest issue of bad timing (the mouse died between when the housekeepers last came and our arrival), I would have just moved on without thinking more of it. However, given the scope of the mouse droppings, it was clear the housekeepers or property manager arent very attentive. We also found a fresh black hair upon opening the covers of one of the beds (was it just from the housekeeper as he or she made the bed or was it from the sheets just being reused without cleaning? Who knows). One of the toilets leaked and the water was shut off to it. No napkins, no paper towels, no coffee. I informed the owner as we checked out regarding all of these things but no answer or acknowledgement. Even a brief apology or acknowledgement of these things would have prevented me from placing this review but here we are. On the plus side, nice location, the house was otherwise fine in a definitely more rustic style. There is an air conditioning unit but I would fear it might not be enough during the hot summer but it worked well enough while we were there.
