"They're nice buckets!"
Property was nice and as described, but the first red flag was the repeated calls from the hose before arrival to make sure they were there to greet us for checkin. One call, sure, but they were at 3 or 4 before we even got there.
The first morning, we discovered the toilet wouldn't flush. We alerted the host, they said they'd get a plumber while we were out, still no big deal for us.
We get the call that the toilet is fixed, great.
We get back to the rental and the toilet still doesn't flush. We alert the host around 6pm, host says they'll call a plumber again and provides us with buckets (which she filled and we appreciated) for dumping water into the toilet to force a flush, indicating to us that this is not their first time dealing with this problem and that this solution was known to work. Suboptimal for 4 people and 1 toilet.
They tell us that a plumber is going to return the same night, which we were fine with. Host lingers, asking us personal details to tell to her grandchild, etc. Not inappropriate in content, just, like, an unreasonable amount of contact with hosts when we've expressed that we want to be left alone to our trip.
The host returns, this time letting herself in, citing knowing that my wife is asleep as her reason for not knocking or ringing the doorbell.
Plumber comes, we go to bed.
Second morning, toilet still isn't working. At this point, we've started just using public bathrooms. Wildly inconvenient.
Host comes back ver, we express t
