Parking is terrible

Parking was awful, even in post-season the vicinity was crammed with cars, we usually could only park 5-6mins walk away. There is a parking lot at the church which is free 6pm-10am if that helps! In warmer weather there is a smell, probably coming from the shower sink, it could be solved with a siphon! We had wasps coming constantly from somewhere, I had to kill at least 30 during our stay, one even stung my wife unfortunately. It would be a nice touch to have equipment (especially toilet paper) for the whole stay The owner asked for environment tax whereas it had not been mentioned in the booking page. I informed her that booking guarantees prices and that there are no hidden fees and fortunately booking helpdesk settled it for us. I can see now it is corrected in the fineprint, so mind that cost!

Parking was free however very difficult to find a spot as the streets are small and full of people. We had to park a few streets away however most of the time we were able to move the car closer late at night. The place was clean enough, however overall cleanliness was poor (i.e. musty odour, towels did not smell clean (we just washed them in the machine), dishes were dirty, given a used kitchen scourer, bathroom drawers had hairs in them from previous guests, crumbs in kitchen cupboards). The bed was comfy however new pillows are definitely overdue. The bed only had a thin sheet and a spare blanket was provided however no quilt cover was provided for it? The place lacked MANY basic items/facilities that i think are important to note for future guests: we were given 1 roll of toilet paper and 1 bin bag. The host explained guests usually get 1 roll of toilet paper per stay, we explained we were 2 people staying for 5 days and were then given 2 more rolls and some bin bags from the host's home. The kitchen had 1 dishwashing tablet, no salt & pepper, cooking oil, baking paper, bench cloth, or other necessary items that I would expect to be provided with when booking a place with a kitchen, we ended up having to purchase all of this ourselves. For those travelling for long periods of time, this is a waste of money as we cannot carry around these items in our luggage. No bathroom soaps were provided, and all products that were provided were only 1/4 full?? In future i think this place would really benefit from providing these simple items, it would make the stay much more convenient and welcoming.

Small, narrow apartment. Some unpleasant smells from the bathroom. Musty odour. Not very well equipped e.g 1 toilet roll, 1 small towel set for 8 days, no Bon bags or welcome pack (e.g. water).
