Avoid this place at all costs! I had planned to stay there for 6 months, from September to February.
I had to leave mid-October due to the unacceptable behaviour of the host, and since the living conditions grew increasingly rough and dangerous. This listing should not be on Airbnb, it is disgraceful and deserves to be taken off the website.
Here is a brief summary of what you can expect booking this place (or any of the other rooms of the host in the farmhouse):
One bathroom on the ground floor for all 4 bedrooms upstairs (with one in construction upstairs, and it shows).
The house is obviously cold, and central heating is non-existent, except when you have the chance of renting when another guest has a reservation with Booking on the same night as you. Shane used to provide a small electric heater, which he took back at the end of September, when it starts to become a necessity.
Safety hazards: The electrical installation of the shower is such that you’re risking a shock each time.
There’s an old wood burning stove in the living room has its embers dropping on the wooden floor. When unsupervised, we’re risking a fire, since the stairs are also made of wood and the rooms are just above.
Hygiene conditions are not much better, as mattresses are stacked on top of each other in a room that looks more like a bin store than a storage room.
The washing machine that is put forward on the listing, costs €5 per use (not specified in the listing), and is located in the shed where the hosts has its tractor and other agricultural machinery. Last that I know of, the handle broke down and I was lent a screwdriver to open it.
When coming back to check-out, I found my room without a bed, under renovation works with my belongings moved. I had closed my room by key and the host allowed himself to enter the room without informing me.
He had also planned to move me, after I asked about the heating, to the same shed where he has improvised a couple of rooms (more or less habitable).
There’s a whole lot to talk about like the flickering light bulbs, shady electricity work, broken toilets not fixed for a week and the electricity alarm going off randomly, but I’m reaching towards the word count limit for this review.
All in all, I have decided to leave, and I don’t recommend this sordid place whose dishonest owner only thinks about maximizing his earnings while giving the least possible comfort.
