Gavin’s apartment is in a nice location next to the eco park, and across the road from the promenade.
However, I experienced many problems with this stay.
Firstly, the checkin experience was horrendous. Despite giving detailed arrival information to Gavin via Airbnb, there was no one to let me in on arrival. I waited outside the locked building in the hot sun, after 24 hours of overseas travel. Finally the caretaker let me in and phoned the host for checkin details.
Secondly, the apartment’s bathroom needs upgrading, and the fridge is outdated. There is also no washing machine, so this apartment is unsuitable for long stays.
Thirdly, there were occasional problems with the services, namely the water supply, the television channels, and loud noise from next doors toilet and washing machine.
The upside was that Gavin was responsive regarding the repairs and sorted out the issues with the television, and followed up the problems with the water.
He also kindly allowed me a late checkout on request.
