Stayed at Darryl place for one night. Pros - 1) very spacious property, lots of rooms, nice layout; 2) nice view from the living-room. Cons: 1) not very clean. Spotted hair on the floor in the bathroom. Bed linen had stains, which was pretty much disgusting . I checked two separate beds in master bedroom upstairs and pillow cases and blankets had stains on them. I eventually moved to another bedroom and made my own bed (thankfully I had my own linen, blankets and pillows in a luggage trailer I was travelling with). I simply did not feel comfortable using host’s linen and pillows, as they were not perfectly clean (I am sure they had been washed after previous guests, but just not good enough, as I spotted multiple stains on them). Cleanliness is everything in today’s world with COVID-19 spreading. I wish Darryl put a bit more effort in cleaning his place. 3) carpet in the living-room must not have been deep steam cleaned for ages as my plain white socks turned black in minutes. In the COVID-19 era, carpet must be deep steam cleaned after each guest and the whole place must be thoroughly desinfected. I had to sanitise all surfaces and handles in the property myself for my own protection.
I must say Darryl was nice and polite during my stay, and he even helped me move my car outside as I had trouble leaving the premises with a luggage trailer, which I am grateful for.
