Not for Tall arachnophobes
I don't like to be a harsh critic, but I want to be honest in how I describe a property. So here it goes.
Pros:
1. Location is great. Close to the water, harbor, small town, quiet neighborhood. Very Peaceful.
2. Old home charm, was relatively clean and beds were reasonably updated. Loved the straw roof, stained glass.
3. Neighbors were very nice. Older Gentleman Steen was very kind.
Cons-
1. Overgrown vegetation. We didn't feel like we could hang out outside because of the overgrown plants and cobwebs everywhere. To their credit- it would be a lot of work, but did not look like pics online.
2. Spiders- There weren't dangerous spiders, but if you have any arachnophobia this is not the house for you. I killed probably 30 spiders crawling on walls during our stay. Most European House spiders. (Barn spiders in the US). Again, they're not dangerous or very poisonous, but they wigged my kids out pretty bad.
3. Electricity- I had to replace a 16amp fuse 3 times during our stay for the oven/stove. Couldn't use Stove & oven simultaneously w/o blowing them.
4. Ceiling beams and door height. I'm 6'6" (about 2 Meters) tall. The beams and doorways everywhere were about 5'10". Even ducking, I hit my head on them probably 20 times over 9 days. May have gotten a concussion on one of them. If you're taller than 5'8", don't rent this place. It was really obnoxious.
If you're short and are fine with spiders, go for it, I'd recommend you keep looking.
