An excellent location close everything, that would be good if you just needed a place to sleep in town. If you’re looking for a place to relax with family and friends, the layout of the house is not set up for that.
I didn’t realise that before I booked, but I should have looked through the photos more carefully. If I had, I would have seen the stained carpets, cracked slate floors, uneven floors, scorch marks in the kitchen, doors that you have to push open with your body weight, even the lack of blinds on the bathroom windows upstairs. The outside furniture is also unable to be sat on due to rust or uneven splintery wood.
It has a very basic kitchen, with most items needed to prepare meals, though lacks a microwave and the exhaust fan above the stove is cracked.
Once I realised that it was not the place I thought it was, I spoke to Andrew (the host) who was very polite. I asked for a refund as per his cancellation policy and left the property before staying a night.
