Unfortunately Cold
The property is small and cute and in a good location in Chester to walk and catch the hop on hop off bus. We were there for only two evenings both of which were unusually and unfortunately cold. The thermostat was not working and we were uncomfortably cold. As well the hot water faucet in the kitchen was loose and unusable. After contacting the owner we eventually found an electric heater which definitely helped and a plumber was called. The owner tried to fix the problems which we appreciate. Communication was good once they were aware of our difficulties. I am sure if we had been there longer the problems would have been solved. One thing to mention the bathroom is on the main floor and the bedrooms are upstairs. This was a little tricky for my mobility issues in the middle of the night.
