The view is totally amazing, however, I had read that Richard seems not to be there to meet many guests on arrival and that was the same for us. Thats fine but when things are not as they should be then having no host on arrival is a problem: The internet was not working, and when we asked about it he could not resolve the issue as he was not there. We could not plan our onward trips using 3G on a phone, and so we told Airbnb, who refunded our payment and we left.
Once you get over the amazing view, the flat is is great need of modernisation, there are no sharp knives in the kitchen, the kitchen sink is cracked, the tap is almost hanging off the sink. The bathroom has broken toilet roll holder, broken hooks on the door, a cheap shower curtain that allows water to spray all over the floor. Another bathroom with no shower, but a bath. The beds are soft and very uncomfortable and the towels cheap.
Its a real shame as Richard has a gem of the view and the flat could be the same.
