Halen’s place is nice, quiet and well presented. Check in was a bit difficult at first as the address was not provided on the listing, but after a quick phone call this was rectified and I found myself in a nice housing estate.
Halen was sweet and welcoming, though there was a bit of confusion as it turns out there is a no shoes in the house policy, which I was not made aware of earlier and quickly sorted out. The bed is extremely firm, this isn’t necessarily a negative but something to be aware of.
A communication issue also arose as I needed to cancel my stay due to unexpected work commitments taking me out of the area. As I was packing up Halen appeared dissatisfied with my explanation that no refund was being processed: I just wasn’t able to stay and I was happy to pay for the night still. After translating through her son on the phone all was sorted out though.
