Amazing views from roof, lovely area, great parking. The house is neglected inside and out. Furniture was swollen and smelled of damp. Missing light fittings, cracking electrical switches. Master bedroom side light and ceiling light never worked, only the far side light worked. Vacuum cleaner but no bag, we had to go buy them in the end. Outside furniture was dangerous and my husband was lucky not to be impaled when a plastic chair literally exploded into shards beneath him. Cushion pads were eventually replaced, as the ones supplied were shredded, faded and covered in mould. Many things broken, worn out, damaged by dampness, leaking, electrics need attention, needs a new door lock, windows and doors all leak in the rain, beds are like camp beds, look terrible, however, credit where itâs due, they were surprisingly comfortable. The bedding is ancient and poor quality, bleach marks, worn out elastic. Things that were listed on the inventory werenât there. Enormous amount of Crockery and cutlery, mismatched glasses, two coffee machines, needs severely edited, it sleeps 3 comfortably. No need for several settings and stacks of chopping boards. Kitchen units are old and bursting at floor level, fridge was absolutely tiny and shelves fell off the door, all have hairline cracks. The owner did replace the washing machine, which was temperamental. Bathroom sliding door kept falling off the mounting. Both of us jammed our hands in the patio doors, as thereâs no safety stop. Inside the house was like a fridge in winter, we had to clean mould several times and our clothes were wet in the unlined wardrobes. We bought many humidifiers. No aircon means the walls are like powder and the house manager was unable to replace the curtain pole or fix the shower properly to the wall. We lived with the curtains held up by tape for many weeks. This could be a lovely house, but it needs work. The patio area gets no winter sun, but the roof does, the furniture on the roof however needs replaced, itâs not just ugly, itâs dangerous. If itâs important, the TV only had Spanish Channels. We used our own steaming stick, which worked, but the sound quality on the TV is tinny at anything above quite. The house was clean on arrival, but inside the cupboards were grimy and some crockery sticky with grease, which j didnât use, as thereâs just far too much crockery and unnecessary stuff in a rental. I binned the toilet brush, after it was knocked over and I wonât go into detail, but I binned it and left a brand new one for the owner, it was disgusting. We needed to buy a basin, as the sink didnât hold water. The additional blanket provided was dirty and too bulky to wash in the machine in the house, I thankfully had taken our own throws. No towels provided by the owner. If we didnât have a dog with us, thereâs no way we would have stayed in the house, not in the condition itâs in. The owner seems like a nice man, but really didnât want to be bothered with me and I found myself resolving or dealing with things myself.
