I booked this property because it had great reviews and because of the price. This may have been Kate’s off week because the hospitality was not quite reciprocated during my stay.
Initially when I checked in I wasn’t given any run down on the property just “that my room was to the left”. She had a friend over and was more focussed on him than the guest who has just checked into her home.
I didn’t receive any communication until about 3.5hrs later when she comes in and says “you’re alright with everything” and pops a key on the desk.
The next morning I was woken up to her tuning a Cello at around 9am. I had just arrived from London so was very jet lagged and had no communication that she would be doing this - I found this very inconsiderate. If she tried to communicate with me more and tell me what’s going I would not have had a problem.
There were many small problems I had with my stay.. but mainly I just felt uncomfortable. She is a very interesting and lovely lady but I think she lacks self awareness and consideration for others. I understand that this is her home and space but she needs to understand that I am paying to stay there and would have liked to be acknowledged and looked after a bit more.
