Verbesserungswürdig: Sauberkeit
I rented the “cozy” cottage to work on a book, had to leave 2 days early because of unbearable noise. The neighbor was essentially building/rebuilding a house 12 ft away. The owner of the cottage claimed not to know before renting it to me. There were safety issues: The toaster was old and a hazard. Every time I plugged a device into the wall in both the bedroom & the desk area, the socket emitted a spark, so didn’t use the outlet near the bed. A chirping smoke alarm woke me at 3 am on one of the nights. I had to search the cottage for batteries to change it. The owner left no spare garbage bags in the cottage. Luckily I'd been travellng with one. The futon cover in the television area was dirty. There was slight ammonia smell in the cottage when I arrived. It dissipated when opening windows was an option. Unfortunately for most of my stay I needed to keep windows closed (for noise mitigation) and was unable to use the outside area during the day due to noise. from the building site, noise which was audible from 2 blocks away. The owner of the property was grandiose, insouciant, dishonest, and unhelpful in his responses and took 21 hours to respond to noise complaint. I travel often and have never had a negative experience. Photos below show the construction site, & proximity of it to cottage.
