I have to give 2 starts for the first time in my life.The location is great, the cottage is cozy and nice.Unfortunately, the maintenance and communication was not great. The BBQ was left incredibly dirty with gas tank open. I had to clean it at night and ran out of gas immediately so I couldn’t cook dinner.The wi-fi password in the welcome email was left blank. We had to do some work over the weekend. The reception was poor, so lack of wi-fi was very limiting. The host didn’t get back to use neither via email, nor sms.
