AIBU to expect a dining table?

I've hired a 'stunning apartment' for a week and there is no table to eat at or work at. The kitchen is big enough for a table and chairs so it's presumably been a conscious decision not to provide them. I've just had my breakfast cereal perched on my lap on a sofa. I plan to complain but honestly, AIBU?

I would have thought a table and chairs was basic, like a bed and a loo! We eat all.our meals at the table (with very few exceptions) as do our C and GC. Even if you are eating out you need one for breakfast. (It doesnt need to be posh/formal, a kitchen table or breakfast bar would do but you need something!)
Broken oven etc is also unacceptable.
If poor reviews are not accepted by the site you can always use trip advisor.

Really worrying about the broken smoke alarms. Not legal in a rented property, surely?
I’ve never checked for a dining table. I would just have taken it for granted.
Make a widespread fuss, brOadwater.

When we stay in rented apartments or cottages I have always found if there is anything broken or missing the management company or owners will sort it out for you if you ask them.
As the owner of a guest house I prefer that guests speak to me if there is anything they want sorting or they are not happy about, as it is always best to keep the customers happy than get a bad review.
Luckily we have very good reviews, but if you get bad ones it can really hurt your ratings.
