The host had left a nicely stocked pantey. Beds and linens were very nice. Bedroom number 3 was a bit if climb, 4th floor, most of us on upper floors left our luggage on the ground floor bedroom. One thing we missed wefeany kind of electrical outlets with a mirroe close enough to dry hair or put on .makeup, none of floors had that.

Host was very responsive and helpful; house was comfortable and very close to town so we could walk where needed. We did reduce our stay mainly due to poor weather and not a lot to do in Franz Josef

Fantastic location and plenty of space however lots of little things broken or in need of some love. Front door handle/lock screws falling out, toilet seat, shower drain to name a few. The floor didn’t feel like it had been mopped and branches needed a good wipe on arrival.

It was a great location and spacious for a family.The property had an overwhelming aroma and lacked cleanliness in bathroom and kitchen. The toilet seat was not fully secure.

Great location, around the corner to everything. We had some issues connecting to the Wifi as what was on the site was not working. After struggling for a bit we called the host who was very abrupt and not overly helpful.The living/kitchen room area did not have a heater, but there was one in a closet in one of the bedrooms that we were able to move to that area to make it comfortable. Very large and roomy.

Comfortable, within walking distance of shop and restaurants, and easy access. Rooms were comfortable and kitchen well stocked. With short hikes nearby and loads of destinations at a distance we had a great time even in the spring rain.

Convenient location

This excellent property is very walkable to the amenities of the town. Great open floor plan of living room, eating area, and kitchen. Comfortable beds and lovely view of the glacier. There was an initial emergency with the cleaners before we arrived. The owner resolved it promptly and communicated the matter to us. After that though, the owner did not respond to our communications/questions.

This is the only accommodation we stayed in that had a 3:00pm and not a 2:00pm check in. Therefore, one would expect it to be clean and ready for the next guests. We arrived at the back of 3:00pm only to find unmade beds, dirty towels, toilet etc. The hostess arrived after us complaining about the traffic. We left the property for her to clean. Judging by what we returned to was a half hearted attempt at cleaning. Our sheets were dirty and creased, and waking up in the morning with a cockroach staring at us wasn’t a good start to the day. The kitchen had a white film over the counters and sink which I then had to clean along with the stained mugs. One certainly doesn’t feel welcome at this property, not even a small gesture of milk to make a cup of tea after a long drive. I do not consider the expired food supplies left by other guests as a token of a welcome. Compared to the lovely notes, chocolate, bowls of fruit, fresh flowers, milk, choice of fresh tea or beautiful soaps that we received at our other accommodations, Mid Century House has a lot to learn in hosting. I’m not saying I expect any of these things, albeit really nice and welcoming, we do expect a level of cleanliness. This property has so much potential but it is run down and needs a good scrub. The price was more than most of our accommodation we stayed in and was terrible in comparison. Not to mention that we had to pay upfront when booking more than six months prior.

Comfortable and spacious in great central location

We had a really enjoyable 2 night stay. The house is within easy walking distance of attractions, restaurants and shops. We had a beautiful view of the mountains from the kitchen and one bedroom. Check in was super simple. Would definitely recommend.
