Host very kindly left milk and a chocolate cake but condiments were sparse, no oil for cooking, only 4 teabags and only 4 coffee sachets. There was filter coffee but the machine was not clean.Only 2 dishwashers tablets and 1 tablet for the washing machine for 6 people for 4 nights. There was just 1 tea towel left and no hand towel for the kitchen. Cleanliness was poor.
