The location is absolutely beautiful. The street and surrounding builds are gorgeous, you can walk to anywhere, the living room was nice and spacious, the caretaker was absolutely lovely we met her and she kindly left Easter eggs and lots of supplies, the fruit platter was wonderful. The little courtyard/garden was sweet, it would be lovely to have a little lounge out there.
Unfortunately there were a few things that made our stay uncomfortable the first was, there is an awful smell coming from the largest bath room, you might call this the ensuite, and the door for this bathroom gets stuck and can not slide open and closed easily, the smell drifts through what is the only entrance, (walk in wardrobe) and then into the main bedroom which has no windows. I am not sure if it's the smell of mould, we think it is more like a blocked pipe or plumbing smell. So we needed to keep the wardrobe door closed, and move our things into the bedroom. But when we would get home from a day out the smell would almost knock us over! This toilet, sometimes takes about 6 flushes to get everything down, and the shower is very slow to drain. This made sleeping in that room pretty yucky..
The other main issue is, you cannot open a single window in the house. So it feels really stuffy with that stale air, we ended up sleeping with the back door wide open and then having to open the front door in the morning to let fresh air through.
The aircon in the living area is currently needing to be turned on and off via the mains switch in the linen press which we were informed about, and didn't bother us.. but it is so noisy and has a clunky fan, so we didn't run it.
The second bathroom was not smelly which was good, but the shower in there is super tiny, that bathroom is really a laundry, so if you are a larger person which thankfully we are not, you would have problems. For us it was a squish.
I am not sure one of out towels was clean as it smelled strongly of ladies perfume and was soft to touch.. lucky we had one of our own
