4/10 Poor

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication
The house is below par in heating due to minimal insulation, high ceiling and single glazing. The heat pump and electric heaters were not able to maintain an agreeable temperature with below zero temperatures outside. I know New Zealanders are used to bad heating, but we as Europeans feel this house is NOT COMFORTABLE. Even with the log fire going...
