The house location was as described, the interior was uncomfortable due to the decor and excessive clutter. It felt like staying in a deceased relative's house. Lots of old-fashioned objects, doilies, and clutter on every surface.
In the kitchen, every cupboard and drawer was crammed with a mess of utensils, and the only place to store food was in the fridge, again, canisters, placemats, plastic boxes of cloths, ornaments on top of the microwave, and on every surface, from windowsills to every flat surface, vases of old silk flowers on the floor, old records.
This was not a carefully curate collection, it had the feel of an op shop. This in turn did not create the ambiance of a relaxing holiday house.
Credit should be given to the cleaners, as the place was really clean, and it is a big effort to clean and dust within a cluttered messy environment.
We appreciated the chance to bring our dog with us, and the neighbors we spoke with were great people.
With a good decluttering, the space could easily be inviting, calm, and relaxing. A shower curtain would also have been useful. The best aspect was sitting on the terrace watching the full moon rise, which was delightful.
