Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
The Contessa is small but cute. Would have been tight if I was not alone. The parking is convenient but getting in and out of the small lot is tight with a cement pilar at the turn which had battle scars from cars hitting it [could really ruin a stay if that happens].
There were instructions left for me and when the tv access required a login, the hosts were reaponsive and sent me the info right away. The heat of electic fire place does not work, and the room was cold, but fortunately there was another space heater in the closet I was able to use (along with a semi-broken fan).
One of the carpets was absolutely FILTHY, with boot & scuff marks all over it [which is referenced in reviews from a while ago and still unresolved, which shoes neglect on the owners' part]. There was a Keurig machine in the room, but it looked dusty snd was on a dirty tray, so I wasnt comfortable getting hot water for the tea bag I'd brought with me. The bed felt like a full-size rather than a queen and the pillows were the flattest and least comfortable I've ever had when paying to stay anywhere. It had rained a little and there is water damage above 1 of the windows, whcih was noticeable when the wall swelled. There are old water stains on the pull-down blinds on that same window, so another sign of neglect by the owners.
I appreciated the restaurant recommendations they left and really enjoyed breakfast at 1 of the cafés. I was only there for 2 nights stay and arrived in my room after 8pm daily.
