The Good
Location is good. It’s just a few minutes walk from Callou down a narrow street so very centrally based. There was though a ‘nightclub’ just next door where scantily clad woman dance. I was staying there with 2 young children and they wouldn’t have noticed.

The Bad
Because of its location it was quite noisy in the front bedroom and the main living room (which acts as a bedroom for more than 8 guests). There are 4 bedrooms and 3 of them are internal with no ventilation, which is good when you want to eliminate noise from the road but not good for smells. The bathroom area and kitchen area were to the rear and smelled slightly of damp/mould. I’d agree with a previous reviewer that the photos make it look a little bit more inviting than it actually was.

THE UGLY
I booked this location in February and received a quick response from Melvin confirming the booking. Months later and just two weeks before I travelled I received an email stating that they had made a mistake, there would be an increase in the price of 40% (!!) and if I didn’t accept then Melvin would cancel my reservation. What followed was a very stressful time of trying desperately to find alternative accommodation. I remained in regular contact with Melvin explaining that I was searching. When I eventually found accommodation and contacted Melvin he stated that it was now too late for him to accept a cancellation from me and if I cancelled I would stick to the cancellation policy (which was full price at this stage)!! Luckily my alternative accommodation was with a hotel which didn’t have the same cancellation policy or attitude.

Wouldn’t recommend this location/host as a result of my experience.
