Unfortunately my family did not have a great experience at Simon's house. We ended up not staying there at all even though we paid $460+ for the house. Simon refuses to offer any form of refund. Our issue was the fact we stated we had 5 guests who would be staying at the house, and to me staying means sleeping. We spent 2.5 hours after arriving at the house before leaving to attend a birthday celebration. A local friend called into the house and spent 40 mins there before we all left to go to the party. An hour or so later I received a phone call from Simon accusing me of lying about the number of guests staying. He had been watching on his cameras our coming and going. We were aware there were cameras outside as it clearly states this. Simon did not even allow me to explain our friend had dropped off something for my husband, he just went into a rant at me and did not allow me to speak and after saying we had breached the rules he would cancel our booking and hung up on me. I spent the next few hours on the phone with air bnb who were actually fantastic to deal with and were trying their best to assist and resolve the issue. Unfortunately Simon is extremely mistrusting and refuses to allow his guests the benefit of a truthful explanation. A very expensive 2.5 hour stay is all I can say. I will say the house is very well presented, very strict rules which I also understand, however Simon's abusive call really is not an acceptable way of dealing with issues, and for that reason I cannot offer a recommendation of using his home. The positive in all of this is that our beautiful local friends rallied around and we ended up staying at a couple of friends homes, one of which actually visited t he home who never intended sleeping there...
