Komfort bleiben in der Nähe von Langeweile

Upon arriving at the house, we learned that there had been a broken sewer line and the room we were supposed to stay in was flooded. The host had sent me a message through the VRBO app when it happened about 2 hours earlier, but I didn't check the app for messages after our flight, so I missed my chance to find out before our arrival (my fault).

The host did his best to be accommodating, and let us stay in his room, which was upstairs from the room we had booked. Though he tried very hard, this was not an ideal situation for anyone, so we decided the next morning to get a hotel room rather than stay in his room a second night.

We did see the room we had rented prior to leaving, and under other circumstances, it would have been well suited to our short stay needs. It was large and spacious with a full bathroom right outside the bedroom door. There were 3-4 steps to get into the house from the outside, then 4-5 down from the front door to the bedroom. The house is maybe 10 minutes from Dulles airport, and I don't recall noticing the sound of planes.

If you are hot natured you likely will be uncomfortable here. When we arrived, it had been unseasonably warm (70+ in mid-March), and there was no heat, AC, or any kind of fan on in the house. The room we were in was about 73 degrees; not sure if the room that's rented out has separate controls or not.
