Please read this whole review.
TLDR: I think Ali is a good host, but check the details of the property if you are thinking of staying here.
I ultimately left early from Ali's property. Ali was excellent with communication, and offered me a refund on the remaining nights, when things weren't working out. So, whilst this was disruptive for my stay, I have to say this was very fair and reasonable from Ali as a host. He also sorted out some issues with the property, when I mentioned them to him.
The room had a very comfortable bed, but also a very thin bedspread only, and very poor pillows. I mentioned this to Ali, and the next day a friend of his brought some better ones - so that was fixed. Also when I asked about an iron, he arranged for one to be provided.
However, the house (inc. bedroom) was very cold, and after I used the central heating (listed in the property's inclusions) Ali asked me not to, because it needed servicing. Okay, but the portable heater was unsuitable for the large downstairs space, and for sleeping overnight in the bedroom. Also, there was a blocked sink downstairs, I don't know if Ali knew about this or not. The outdoor space was very overgrown, and not at all like the listing image. Also, another guest was staying, and leaving the kitchen quite dirty at times. I have images of these items, but can't post them here. Some of these things are easier for a host to control, than others...
I probably would not stay here again, unless I was sure that the things I have mentioned, were fixed. But I am confident that Ali is generally a good host, there are just a few things about the property that need attention.
