We were very disappointed in this property. The house was not as nice as the photos show. It was dirty and “tacky” with hand written signs stuck to the walls. It was advertised as having a garage, however a note on the garage wall advised us we were not to use as the door was broken. Access was very difficult, we notified Frank and he said he knew that the lock wasn`t any good but was getting it fixed “next week”. Advertises laundry but again a sign, we believe advising $2 charge per load. The whole house needs updating. We were asked to remove our shoes when walking on the carpet, but the carpet was threadbare in places with several stains on it. The bathrooms were dirty and toilet seat cracked (harbouring germs?). The skirting boards were dirty, bedside lamp dusty, light switches filthy. Kitchen had a gas bottle in the cupboard which I understand should be vented to the outside. Kitchen had “bare minimum” utensils, all of which obviously old.
CCTV camera (although we knew it was there) was aimed directly into the kitchen window. We kept the blinds down as we felt we were being watched. This was in fact correct as 5 minutes after arriving, we received an email saying that there were 9 people when we had booked for 8. My sister had previously advised him we were adding an extra person and had asked how much more we needed to pay, he also knew because we asked him to bring over extra sheets & pillow slips. He initially wasn’t going to charge for the extra person, however after we “mentioned a few things that we weren`t happy about” he then told us to pay another $60 (directly to him) Toilet dripped all night.
We noted 17 items of concern .
On a positive note, sheets & towels were clean, beds were comfortable and location and wifi were good.
