It was unclear which food in the kitchen was for general guest use and which belonged to certain guests.

"Stayed 3 nights but only given 1 towel each in that time - no face cloth or face towels provided. Bed was extremely soft and suffered roll together - very uncomfortable. TV only received 4 channels (although we could stream to it). Had to request a key so we could lock the accommodations when we were not present. Host was very polite and helpful, but don’t think the property was value for what we were charged."
