4/10
First, the plusses: the property is very quaint, the antiques are very cool, and the property owner very accommodating and pleasant. In fact, his wife made us a loaf of bread to welcome us. Very nice....But, there were issues. The internet was terrible. It was barely OK for email, but not for anything else. Searches were impossible. Forget video streaming. The property owner told us that DSL was supposed to be installed but was delayed a couple of weeks. Since my wife and I surf the internet a lot, this was a big issue. To his credit, the property owner told us that he would inform his upcoming guests of this issue until the DSL is installed. The TV worked OK for live streaming but not for on-demand viewing. Fortunately, the property owner made available a large number of DVDs, which greatly compensated for the lack of video streaming. There was also as issue with sugar ants in the kitchen. A simple pesticide treatment took care of this issue.The bedrooms upstairs were very warm. The property owner had window AC units ready to install, but they weren't installed when we arrived. When we mentioned the issue to the property owner, he installed the window unit the day we arrived. Finally, the property had a musty odor throughout, like one might expect from antiques. And, the living room sofa had a very bad odor, which was mostly mitigated by covering it with a throw.
