The property was not accurately described in the listing. We were expecting to arrive at a rental accommodation which is not normally occupied by others. Instead we arrived at someone’s home where they had all of their personal stuff - there was an area in the fridge with all their food, the cupboards were full of their food, etc. There was no room to hang any of clothes in all but one bedroom as any of the unlocked presses were full of the owners items. All of the owners kids’ toys and bicycles were in the apartment but we were under strict instructions from the owner that they did not want other kids playing with their toys - this made it very unrelaxing as naturally our kids wanted to play with the toys and we had to keep stopping them. The rest of the apartment was chock - a - block with the owners books, family photos etc. wall to wall. We really could not make ourselves at home.
There are three bedrooms - one with 2 singles, one with a double and single (very squashed) and one with a pull out couch bed (not clearly stated in the listing) which is surrounded by shelves of kids toys, teenage posters of soccer stars and not much room to get around the bed at all - my husband and I had to use this room and it was the most uncomfortable bed I have ever slept in with our necks and backs aching each day from it.
Lastly the provisions were not good. - there were no hand towels at all, nowhere proper to hang towels in the bathroom and no bins in the bathroom or bedrooms.
Some guests may enjoy staying in someone else’s full time home like this however it was not for us and because it is not made clear in the listing then we had no way of knowing this on selection. - we would not have chosen this apartment had we known.
