“Can be improved very easily”
There’s potential here. The owner, Joseph, called me the next day for feedback, and this is what I told him. I was the first guest and noticed several issues: 1. No one was available when I wanted to check in—my wife was on a school run and Joseph was at work. If the owner can’t greet guests, a coded lock box would be useful. 2. The handyman eventually let me in but it took 20 minutes to find a key. 3. The electric wall heater was off when I entered, but the room warmed up once it was switched on at the mains. Joseph controls the heating via his phone app, so at 11.30 pm the room was boiling hot (26 °C) and I had to turn the radiator off because there was no way to regulate the temperature; this left the room freezing in the morning. 4. The TV only connected to the house Wi‑Fi, so I couldn’t access anything beyond YouTube. 5. The mezzanine floor was freezing to walk on; a carpet would have been better. 6. The curtains were a foot too long and dragged along the floor, so they’ll get dirty quickly as they’re right in front of the room’s access point. 7. The small metal chair/table provided had a chair that was freezing cold to sit on. 8. There was no bedside table. 9. There was no bedside lamp, although there were green LED lights. 10. The kettle’s lead didn’t reach the socket unless it was placed on the floor. 11. No tea, coffee, milk, or sugar was provided, though Joseph offered to fetch some when he returned from work (I declined). These are minor problems that can be sorted easily; if they were fixed, I’d stay again without hesitation.
