On arrival , a step onto the front of the cottage is broken and in my opinion dangerous. It is loose and moved when stepped onto. Needs to be fixed. There was a bedside shelf that was coming off the wall. The apartment was well equipped and in a great location. Nicely decorated and clean. Enjoyed our stay at the Nest.
