I struggle to write a review for this stay. While we exchanged many messages on the day I was arriving, it was odd that Jane texted me 5 min before I was due to arrive saying she hadn’t noticed but there was a pipe issue. She lives on premises so how could she not have known? She asked me to stay with her friend and sent me an address. This made me feel uncomfortable. I had no idea who this person was or what their accomodation would be like but since it was 7:30pm I had no other choice. Her friend’s family was nice as was the bedroom, but the neighbourhood was not. There were loud parties that continued until 3:30am with disruptions and fights outside. Police eventually came. All very scary when it’s happening so closely that you can hear the shouts, screams and conversations. I had an early morning rafting trip and then a long drive back to Auckland later that day so getting only a few hours of sleep wasn’t ideal. I would never have selected this location to stay at given the neighbourhood is dodgy and I always select places based on reviews about location and noise levels. When I told Jane what had happened she didn’t apologise or offer any reimbursements.
