Stayed in Ali’s place for two weeks. I’ll go through the pros and cons.
Pros: having Netflix was great, I really enjoyed that. Nespresso machine was also a great bonus. Bed was huge and super comfortable. The apartment Itself is quite spacious and Ali was great with communication.
Cons: Ali lives in the place, so it basically felt like we were staying at a mates place but having to pay for it. Things I’d suggest to change are removing shoes from the entrance, emptying the rubbish bin before guests arrive, maybe storing away perfumes and toiletries so that they are not on show. Based on previous reviews We wEre expecting the place to be super clean, however we didn’t find it to that standard. Quite dusty all over, the fridge hadn’t been wiped down and as mentioned before the rubbish wasn’t emptied. This all comes down to the fact Ali lives in the place, therefore when you are staying there, expect these things. Also, a little thing I personally found annoying is the gap underneath the shower screen is not sealed therefore the water easily gushes out.
Had no issues with Ali as a host, was great with communication and was always there to help and overall a good host.
