Unfortunately we didn’t end up staying at Dan’s place. When we arrived, it had not been cleaned from the previous guests and the place was not in a state fit for staying. We had difficulties trying to contact Dan as he was overseas at the time, and the contact list left behind hadn’t been updated, but eventually managed to make contact with his sister who explained there had been a misunderstanding with the dates. They did offer to come over and clean the place for us but my group was very unhappy and did not feel comfortable continuing our stay there after the first bad impression/experience. To be fair, they were all very apologetic and pleasant to deal with, and we managed to sort out the issue amicably. It is a shame we didn’t end up staying as we were looking forward to it but we are chalking it up to an unlucky experience as Dan does have many good reviews so this was most likely just a one-off incident.
