Stunning views, but price does not match conditions

The place is nice. a lovely living room and open kitchen, and the view stunning, but it has a number of complications that are not transparently mentioned in the description: frequent internet failure, sometimes no electricity, compromised privacy (guests need to pass owner's veranda), a steep hill from the road passing two sheep gates, at the time of the year (Feb/March) very wet. The house was not heated for months and it took a week until the walls warmed so that the fireplace would heat the room. Overall: the conditions did not match the price. For shorter stays it might be ok.
