I recently stayed with a group of 16 people. The house was spacious enough for all of us, the location to town was great and the fresh flowers were a nice touch; however, the house really felt like just a rental property and not a "castle". When we first entered the house the smoke detector was chirping because there were not any batteries in it; the knob for the oven was missing so we had to use a tool (that we brought) in order to be able to turn the oven on & then we had to guess the temperature of the oven the whole trip; mirrors were broken in the bathrooms; tiles were chipped; the light in the master bath shower wasn't working; an outlet faceplate was broken and posed a serious child hazard. Secondly, the property is advertised as being "fully fenced and gated" however the front gates are chain locked open so we were not able to close them to allow the kids full access of the property like we had anticipated. We were supposed to be given the access code to the front door at 4 PM through the AvantStay app and I had to call the company in order to get the code because it never showed up. And when we tried to enter the casita that required a separate code, I had to reach out again to the company to get that code. We weren't able to get full access of the house for 30 minutes after our check-in time. While all of these things may seem trivial, when you're spending the amount of money that we did on a property like this, you expect these little things to be taken care of and the check-in process to be much smoother.
