The cottage was really cute and clean except for the kitchen. The outside of the fridge looked liked it was wiped down with a grease rag (inside was clean), there was some splatter throughout the front of the cupboards, the stovetop and inside of the oven were very dirty and filmy. The cooking pot & lid I had to wash before I used it, they were very filmy as well. Not sure if the kitchen was missed being cleaned or not. The shower head squirts water that I had to put a washcloth behind the shower head so the water would drip in the tub and not spray all over. These things are definitely not a dealer breaker but hopefully for the next renter, these things can possibly be fixed.Never spoke to the host directly, just through messages, but it was all great communication and the responses from the host were quick. I would definitely rent this place again and would recommend :)
