Everything is a bit run down. In the kitchen the pots are old and scratched, not enough cutlery/mugs or tea towels/cleaning cloths. The bed linen was old, not ironed and I was not sure if the top bit was even washed.Also, I was unhappy that there all these extra terms and conditions and I was forced to send a photo of my drivers licence just before check in to an unknown address when we have booked through stayz and that should have covered security for the owners.
