Could be a great place to stay with some work and attentiveness
Granted, it is an old house, but the uneven transitions of the floors in several rooms was a significant hazard we had to constantly help my mother negotiate. There was an exceptionally offensive smell in the bathroom area. It smelled (sorry to be explicit) like used feminine hygiene products that had not been properly disposed of. The access code to the house was left at the default setting, not the code that was promised. When I called on that, later in the evening of our arrival, the host granted me access to the system, without a password, to change the code. No instructions for the task were on the accessed site. The net result was that the VERY loud house alarm was triggered. After talking to a less than helpful alarm service responder, the host changed the access code from his own computer! Why could that not have been done earlier?! On the 2nd day of our stay, the refrigerator stopped working. The host did bring over a smaller unit that was sufficient for our perishables and then a new refrigerator the next afternoon. The host also left us with a couple pounds of frozen hamburger for our troubles. The troublesome beginning of our stay unfortunately carried on in our feelings for the remainder of our stay. I was sufficiently unhappy that I did not want to rate the visit, thinking that no review might be less impactful to the host than what I felt like at the time. As I stated in the title, some time and attention could have avoided an unpleasant experience for all.
