first impressions weren't great, portaloo on the front garden and a derelict building site going to the rear and a massive hole in the side of the house where he has ripped out the old lean to garage.
the house was a beautiful colonial house and great features, unfortunately the bathrooms were full of mould, the kids bunk bed was broken, dust and grease everywhere in kitchen and throughout the house and we got the impression it hasn't been cleaned for months properly except floors and beds made. it was cold and heaters didn't work properly. we stayed there with 3 young children and it just wasn't safe. in the back yard area there was broken metal doors which were sharp, dirty ashtray, broken exposed wires in the room with the bunk bed trailing on the bed. luckily the kids didn't put the light on. I contacted bailey, he said he would send a cleaner round but as the days went on nothing. we mentioned the bunk bed and he never apologized just left a single sheet on a chair outside the front door and expected the kids to sleep on a mattress on the floor. we ended up cleaning the house for almost half a day as my husband's asthma triggered. there was 1 towel each for us to be there a week. and 2 disposable cleaning cloths and no cleaning products, which says a lot. in the end we left early and moved into a different house for the duration of our stay, which was warm and homely, how we would expect an air bnb to be.
I felt like bailey didn't care about the house or maintenance on it. unfortunately I have to leave a bad review but it wasn't as expected and a disappointment to what could be a very beautiful home.
