When I am reviewing Brian I need to start with day one. We had a good welcome on the day one. He helped us to unload all our belongings from the car. He told us that we can use anything in the kitchen and we are free to use lounge room. But things got changed from next day. we brought some cleaning stuff for our personal use in kitchen and he took everything and asked us to use the one in kitchen. when we cook anything every 5 minutes he would come and ask us are you still cooking use very low current.
There is no dryer in the house as it was raining for 5 days when the New Zealand had 20 20 match in Napier and we could not dry it out. When we boil the feeding bottles for the bubs he told us to use the kettle instead.
I can see a review from last May and it says the toilet and kitchen is not functional and for that he says he would fix it soon . The same has not done still. However he got something there just on the day when we were there. he would do banging sound with his toilet fixing only after 7pm when my wife was studying and he wont do anything before as it was full disturbance to us for the study.
there was another lady came to stay for two weeks but she vacated on the second day with his rude behavior. I need to admit that he was very rude with my wife. when we asked about vacating the house he told us we need to pay around $330 NZD and he told us to use the website and change or cancel the reservation. When I tried to like that I was asked by the website that I need to pay $830 NZD which I did not pay( I am not sure whether he did like that or that from AIRNB). We rang AIR NB with the help of local friend who is also host AIRNB then he agreed to us to pay around $ 330 NZD back. The interesting thing is that I apid $853 AUD when I made the booking for which he said he got $830 NZD which never ever happen because AUD is always fetching more values than NZD for the lat whole Financial year. We vacated there very soon and he is so rude.
