The home was really nice and it was in a fantastic location. very close to the beach and a very nice quiet neighbourhood.
The accommodation was non refundable and later I learnt the country was load shedding. I had to ask the question rather than the host letting me know. For the price you pay you expect there to be significant back up generators, however when the power did go out it only kept on one or two lights and the Wifi, as mentioned by the host. The Wifi was however unstable as that also started to turn off during the load shedding. I was unable use a lot of anemeties that I paid for because of this
Given the electricity was off for around half of the time I was there, especially sitting in the dark in the evenings with no WiFi for a lot of the time, I asked the host for some compensation but he refused. Therefore keep in mind that if something does go wrong, don't expect the host to help you as a guest. Granted its not the hosts fault but it's also not the guests fault
