No notes to let us know what to do about waste and recycling. I did msg owner about recycling but no response to msg. Very limited cleaning products available and as we were staying a week I would've expected more. Other places we have stayed cleaning products were supplied. Downstairs bed was very uncomfortable and living chair was broken. Had been repaired with silicone previously but in my opinion was unsafe to use
